Ascape is an innovative tool for developing and exploring general-purpose agent-based models. Ascape is designed to be flexible and powerful, but also approachable, easy to use and expressive.

Models can be developed in Ascape using far less code than in other tools. Ascape models are easier to explore, and profound changes to the models can be made with minimal code changes. Ascape offers a broad array of modeling and visualization tools.

A high-level framework supports complex model design, while end-user tools make it possible for non-programmers to explore many aspects of model dynamics.

Ascape is written entirely in Java, and should run on any Java-enabled platform like: Mac OS X, Linux, Windows etc.

NOTE: Ascape is licensed and distributed under the terms of the BSD License and Eclipse Public License.
