RE: Scheduling Question (off-by-one error)

[Christopher J. Mackie]

Thanks--that's exactly what it was, and the graphs are now looking as they
should.

I'm willing to update the Java tutorial to reflect this information, if you
think it's worth adding?  --Chris

I'm not digging through the detail of your model, but I've encountered
this problem before.

Look at your activateIn method and the order in which the things are
activated.  I think you will find this in activateIn:

   [modelSwarm activateIn: self];
   [displaySchedule activateIn: self];

Which causes the model steps to be ahead of the display steps. Try
reversing them.

Before my recent deep exploration of Scheduling for the last Swarmfest,
I think I worked around this by making agents wait until time 1 to take
a step. You could consider that as well.
