A little help for a newbie, please :-)

[Torben Abildgaard Knudsen]

Hello again...

I´ve been studying the simplebug-tutorial for a while. To me it seems like it 
focuses on the "time-step-approach" of simulation.
For my project I need to learn the principles of dynamic scheduling and how to 
implement an "event-by-event-approach" in SWARM.
I´ve started analyzing the mousetrap example, but it contains an awful lot of 
code, that I find hard to understand (for newbies:-).
Is there a better place for me to start? (some sort of step-by-step tutorial 
focusing on the "dynamic-scheduling-approach")?
Maybe a simpler example, which illustrates the same principles, whitout 
hundreds of lines of code to begin with :-)
If not: is there some obvious way to simplify the mousetrap example to make it 
more accesible?

All in all, I can say that I´m quite impressed by the wide range of possible 
features in SWARM, but also I´m a bit overwhelmed, since I never really did any 
extensive programming before...(i did a little in C and a little in JAVA, but 
never anything for "serious purposes"). 

Can anyone help me? I´m looking forward to making progress learning SWARM.....

Greetings from Denmark and goodnight (it´s late over here now because of the 
time difference...)
