netlogo - Move turtles around a patch -
i trying move turtle around patch 0 0 starting random position in world. circle keeps on growing. doing wrong here?.
code:
to setup clear-all create-turtles 5 ask turtles [ setxy random-xcor random-ycor ] ask patch 0 0 [ set pcolor green ] reset-ticks end go move-turtles tick end move-turtles ask turtles [ face patch 0 0 right 90 fd 0.01 set pen-size 3 pen-down ] end
secondly want turtle move around patch define when reaches in range
your approach take small step along tangent circle want, takes little bit outside circle. repeatedly, accumulates on time.
for better way, see turtles circling example in netlogo models library.
