Sure. Although we probably want to make sure we're talking about the same thing. Starlogo, a spinoff of Logo, is a language 
described in the book Turtles, Termites and Traffic Jams (Resnick, MIT) for writing massively parrallel programs. A good example 
is the program where ants find food and bring it back to the nest. I'm not trying to recreate the language, just make a set of base 
classes that provide all of the common functionality for turtles, patches and an observer. You would subclass these for your 
particular program. This is only my first idea and I've got just a couple of days work into it. I'm happy to pass the code around (let 
me make it work first!) and would enjoy hearing other ideas too.

Thanks, Chris
