MASON is a fast discrete-event multiagent simulation library core in Java, designed to be the foundation for large custom-purpose Java simulations, and also to provide more than enough functionality for many lightweight simulation needs. MASON contains both a model library and an optional suite of visualization tools in 2D and 3D.

Mouse Traps By Gabriel Catalin Balan A reimplementation of the original Mouse Trap example from Swarm. The floor is covered with a grid of mouse traps, each holding a ping-pong ball. Each time a ping-pong ball lands on an unsprung mouse trap, it fires the ball back up, plus the mouse trap's own ball, at random trajectories. If a ball hits a sprung mouse trap, the ball disappears. A single ball is dropped in the center of the field to start, and chaos ensues.

Our implementation has a slight twist: we track the 3D trajectories of the balls. This enables the 3D Mouse Traps example elsewhere.
