Example​

One of the most common uses of the Random To block is for random movement. As shown above, creating a random turn, and combining that with a forward block, allows an agent to wander throughout spaceland in a random direction.

Notes​

The Random To block is most commonly used for random movement. When inserted into a Movements block such as the left by degs combined with the forward block, an agent will wander throughout Spaceland in a random direction.
