WHAT IS IT?

(This is a program which creates one turtle with its set heading, color, size, and coordinates and creates a circle wall which counts the ticks before it hits the wall)

HOW IT WORKS

(This program works by clicking the setup button which creates the turtle and clears the world. Next you want to click the DrawWall button which creates a circle wall which the turtle created is supposed to run into. Next, depending on which owl experiment you are running you can click the WiggleWalk button or the RandomWalk button and set the required radius and the left and right turn angles.)

HOW TO USE IT

(The setup button clears the world and creates one turtle. The DrawWall button creates a circle wall which the turtle will run into. The radius and left and right turn sliders adjust the degrees the turtles will turn.The WiggleWalk and RandomWalk are used to run the required experiment.)

THINGS TO NOTICE

EXTENDING THE MODEL

(suggested things to add or change in the Code tab to make the model more complicated, detailed, accurate, etc.)
