Kenji, This particular question is easy to answer; I've done this myself when trying to debug Quackle and seeing the scores. There is a "Log sim to file" checkbox on the bottom left of the Choices screen. You can then start a sim, let it run for several thousand iterations, and all the information is written to the file. It's in XML format, so you'll have to do some processing to get it in the format you want, but it's fairly easy if you have some programming language knowledge(I can show you later if you don't know) Cesar
