ABSTRACT
The Developer's Manual No. 5 is part of a set of 21
manuals (AA 001 009-001 029) used in APEX (Air Pollution Exercise), a
computerized college and professional level "real world" game
simulation of a community with urban and rural problems, industrial
activities, and air pollution difficulties. The first two section,
which are the same in each of the student manuals (volumes 1 to 19),
contain general information about the APEX interaction simulation and
contain the
a glossary of reference terms. The remaining sections
following: developer's role description; annotated developer's
worksheet; a sample developer's worksheet; background information for
developer's rcle; an annotated printout for cycle one; and a map of
the 29 APEX analysis areas. The manual is identical to the other
developer's manuals, except for the annotated printout for cycle one.
The gane simulation procedure and required computer facilities are
