1Set up the classroom
Type the room in, press “Use this classroom”, and the picture below changes straight away. Every field already has a working default.
Room and seats
8 × 10 = 80 seats.
About 56 of 80 seats get filled.
Aisles
One row per aisle: the seat column it stands in front of. 0 = left wall, 10 = right wall for a 10-seat row. The picture below shows them as hatched bands.
| Before column |
|---|
Entrances
Students walk in from one of these doors, evenly split between them. Row 0 is the front of the room; column 0 is the left wall.
| Label | Row | Column |

Advanced settings — optional, the defaults are fine
Room geometry
These describe the physical room: they change the walking distances the model uses, so leave them unless your room really differs.
Aisle widths: 0.90 m each.
Student types
Type mix totals 100%.
Seeds, order and robustness
A batch adds 1 to both seeds per run, so different seeds give different runs. Weight perturbation nudges each student's weight on one factor — leave it at 0 unless you are testing robustness.
2Single run · step by step
The picture below always shows the classroom from section 1. Press Start and it plays frame by frame: students walk in → pick a seat → get their starting score → later arrivals pull that score down.
Nothing yet. Set up a classroom above, then press Start.
3Quick batch · many runs
No animation. Runs the simulation N times (a new seed each time), writes an txt file, and shows the average score of every seat.
Nothing yet. Set a number of runs above and press Start.
