Escape is the next generation Agent-Based Modeling tool from Metascape. It combines the well-proven and elegant Ascape API with Eclipse environment, the most advanced and capable Integrated Development Environment on the planet. And the integration isn't skin deep -- the Escape modeling environment is a seamless part of the overall Eclipse environment. And Escape is part of the Agent Modeling Platform, an official Eclipse (incubation) project, so Escape is also seamlessly integrated with the most well-regarded software ecosystem in the Open Source world. By adopting Eclipse and AMP for Agent-Based Modeling, you can be confident in the technology and in the future of that technology.
Some key features of Escape include:
Powerful and expressive Ascape based Java API
Full integration with Eclipse runtime, allowing models to be developed and executed without ever leaving the development environment.
Powerful and easy to use 3D rendered graphics
End user focussed exploratory tools. Many modeling activities can be accomplished with the click of a mouse.
Full integration with Agent Modeling Platform and Metascape modeling tools.
Deep, integrated help, including quick-starts, tutorials and a comprehensive user manual covering Agent-Based Modeling and Ascape / Escape development.
Existing Ascape models can easily be converted to Escape models with minor changes. (Escape models can be converted to Ascape models for use with Java swing and web apps.)
(Coming soon)
For users who already have an Eclipse-based environment, Escape can also be downloaded and installed using the . Note that for licensing and packaging reasons, some of the documentation and welcome features are not available in the Eclipse hosted build.
