Hi Jessica!
This is really cool work.
I'm posting here because it inspired me to install NetLogo and the Mathematica-link, however I needed to fix a bug to get it to work:
In line 226 of the link pkg NetLogo.m, I had to change
If[StringMatchQ[$System,"*Mac*"], FileNameJoin[{nlPath,"Java"}],...]
to just
FileNameJoin[{nlPath,"app"}]
(I'm running MacOS, but NetLogo now installs with the same directories it does in Windoz, it seems)
I've alerted the devs here: https://github.com/NetLogo/Mathematica-Link/issues/9
