Still stale. :-(

The primary justification for the current behavior appears to be "steering" users towards the use of `reset-ticks`: https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo/issues/885#issuecomment-159033402 I suggest that adequate steering on this matter is the Models Library....

I will try to elaborate. Suppose we attempt to introduce students to a somewhat standardized setup structure. ``` to setup clear-all setup-globals setup-patches setup-turtles setup-gui end ``` Where in this...

Note that I did not propose redefining `reset-ticks` (except that it might have minor implementation changes if `clear-ticks` were redefined). As for design philosophy, pedagogical considerations have always been central....

Sorry to bikeshed the terminology, butI hope you'll use the more intuitive box-neighbors and diamond-neighbors, possibly adding the often used cross-neighbors.

Reminder from June 24 to advocate for a different terminology: box, diamond, and cross neighborhoods.

i. I have a general pedagogical issue with this phrasing, which the dictionary relies on but does not define. (Of course it poses no problem for experienced users.) ii. `set`...

Could this issue explain why a Turkish student of mine found NetLogo did not recognize the `extensions` keyword? Our workaround was to create an English-language account for her. (NetLogo 6.0.2...

That is still an ugly workaround for early pedagogy, imo. Recall that monitors were fixed to deal with the very problem I'm talking about. The change I propose is intuitive,...

You are quite right about the behavior: students just see `ArgumentTypeException` in their CSV file. But these are undergrads in Econ. Such entries are ... scary.
