Run model the model will start to run. Sheep will move randomly and wolves will move faster. There will be 3 wolves with random colors black, green and blue, and all the sheep(40) are white. Wolves and sheep are set to move 50 times. If sheep are within the 30 unit range of wolves, the sheep would be caught and die. This is a
screen shot of the model showing 3 dead sheep. If the model keeps running, then all the sheep are supposed to die.
Tests
To ensure the model has no significant error or flaw, several tests were conducted: url drag tests, envronment background tests, catch function tests, and update function tests.
Issues
The model has a bug which is in the hunting part. All the sheep will be hunted and die according to the code, but no matter setting how many iterations, only three sheep will die. Though the record in the console shows multiple kills, the animation only shows three dead sheep.
