Thanks for your initial help - I got this running. The next problem I am running into is that since we use the doLoop to instantiate the class I don't have a handle to it nor can I pass in objects that I want to live on after the simulations are done.

I have modified tutorial 2 for my simulation - I am interested in how many times a Trails cell is visited so I eliminated the decay. At the end of the simulation I want to have the Object calling the doLoop function to have a copy (or at least the values) from the Trails Grid2D. I looked through all the tutorials but they are all written as stand alones - so that when the simulation ceases all the values can go away. How do I get a handle to the Class or pass in objects from the Object calling the doLoop.

Steven,

If I understand correctly, you want to programmatically start a simulation
configured according to your needs. You can try something like this:

int steps = 500;
SimState.doLoop(Tutorial3.class, new String[] {"-for", "" + steps});
