Is it possible to create multi agent simulation merely using spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel? The answer is yes. In this tutorial I will show you how to make a very simple game of multi agent using MS Excel, without any macro programming. Yes, really, you don't need to be a programmer to build multi agent system. At least this tutorial will serve as introduction to do the real multi agent simulation. You can also use spreadsheet as a prototype to play around with our algorithm before hard coding our program in your favorite programming language.

This tutorial is divided into three sections:

•  Race of multi agents: how to use the spreadsheet that you can download for free

•  How the program work: principle behind the animation

•  Programming Multi Agent Simulation Step by Step: detail instruction to build MAS in spreadsheet
