Thanks for reporting! We tried to reproduce the error, but have been unable to do so. We do have a few ideas for things that may be helpful:
- If this happens again, have students open Chrome's development tools <https://developer.chrome.com/devtools#access>, flip to the console tab, and copy the contents. This will be extremely helpful for us in figuring out what has gone awry. - Plots tend to take up a lot of memory, so you may find that you get a better-performing model by eliminating some of the smaller plots. Note that you can turn individual plot lines in the model on and off by clicking on their name just below the plot. - While running your model, I found that if I switched back and forth between clicking the setup and go buttons very quickly, I could sometimes get the model into a strange state. While it wasn't exactly the behavior you described, I think it might be related. In order to prevent this from happening, it would be best to disable the go button (and probably the invade button) until after ticks start. I'm going to open a ticket for NetLogo Web to investigate whether these strange goings-on are an engine issue or something else. Hope that helps! Please follow-up if you come across more information or are able to resolve the issue.
