Dear Sean,

thanks for the help!

So in short you have two kinds agents which must each call a certain
> procedure, and this must all be done within a certain timestep, and the A
> agents must all be before the B agents for each procedure.  This would be

ok, thanks for the snippets... My start() now is:

@Override
    public void start() {
        super.start(); //use the previously defined code, then we add our
own.
        marketSpace = new SparseGrid2D(gridWidth, gridHeight);
        for (int i = 0; i < N1; i++) {
            int x = random.nextInt(gridWidth);
            int y = random.nextInt(gridHeight);
            CapitalGoodFirm p = new CapitalGoodFirm();
            schedule.scheduleRepeating(p);
            marketSpace.setObjectLocation(p, x, y);
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < N2; i++) {
            int x = random.nextInt(gridWidth);
            int y = random.nextInt(gridHeight);
            ConsumptionGoodFirm p = new ConsumptionGoodFirm();
            schedule.scheduleRepeating(p);
            marketSpace.setObjectLocation(p, x, y);
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < bankSize; i++) {
            int x = random.nextInt(gridWidth);
            int y = random.nextInt(gridHeight);
            Bank p = new Bank();
            schedule.scheduleRepeating(p);
            marketSpace.setObjectLocation(p, x, y);
        }
    }

so I think I have to add your code after creating the agents... but at this
point should I keep the schedule.scheduleRepeating(p) line?

good point, I don't know how to pass doLoop the MC and T values

Yes of course, my bad... what I mean is: before asking each agent in the
SparseGrid2D to do something, should I randomize their order?

thanks for your help,
Simone
