There are only SSID and SSID password fields in config.py, and they look very different to what you have written here. There do seem to be MQTT related fields in mqtt_as.py, is that where they should be filled in?

I’ve been waiting a year to get into this and it seems out of date.
I managed to get to the run part of the tutorial and I get back eight, ‘syntaxerror: missing ) after argument list’ error lines.
Is there an updated version of these instructions? I’m so excited to get it working on my inkplate 6 and 10.

I have created a tool called – Google Map Customizer. You can customize the colors on a Google Map and get large, high resolution images with simple clicks: http://www.chengfolio.com/google_map_customizer
There is no additional tools/software required except a web browser.
Here is the video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp1h4m8LDWw

]]> Comment on NetLogo and Repast to 3DMax to Unity: ABM Visualisation by Yan H. https://www.digitalurban.org/blog/2009/09/18/netlogo-and-repast-to-3dmax-to-unity-2/#comment-3572 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:04:33 +0000 http://digitalurban.net/?p=1204#comment-3572 old Post, but this is way cool. This is exactly what I am intending to do: translate quite a behemoth of a netlogo model of game mechanics to C# in Unity. I would be seriously interested in the plugins you have been working on! Do you have something available already? I’d love to have a look if possible.
@Shawn and btw, I’d love to see the models of ancient cityspaces. I suppose its people moving in those spaces. I intend implementing something of that sort in the same Unity project as well.
