mess

This code generates NetLogo codes for a user-defined grid of variables.

For example, if your existing code or model has hard-coded values of value_1, value_2, value_3, this Python code can generate combinations of values and generate a new code using these values.

Usage

To use this code in your own project:

1. Place all the model files into the folder called templates and add an extention .jinja to each file

2. Replace hard-coded values of a template file with a {{ variable }}

3. Add the added variables and their desired values to variables.json file and place this file in the root folder of your project

4. Run the generator code

   Create a new virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source ./venv/bin/activate

   Install the required dependencies:

   python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

   Generate the codes from the templates:

   python generate_model.py

New rendered models will be in folder experiments_n, where n is the number of experiments equal to the number of variable combinations.

Note: If you run generate_model.py again, experiments_n folders and the content will be overwritten
