Swarm, a software package for multi-agent simulation of complex systems, is introduced. This library supplies researchers with varieties of graphical user interfaces and a useful scheduler for discrete time step simulation. We first explain tutorials for beginners of complex systems and Swarm. We then show two practical simulation examples implemented on Swarm, e.g., percolation on a two dimensional tetragonal lattice and Turing's model of morphogenesis. For the readers' information, we give the installation manual of Swarm in Windows system in the appendix. We also discuss some Swarm's defects and possible extensions for the purpose of future research.
