I made the turtles follow the mouse but I wanted to make the turtles follow at a distance . How do I do that?
You can do setxy (mouse-xcor + 1) (mouse-ycor +1) to make it stay a bit further from the mouse.
Try something like this:
to go ask turtles [ if (distancexy mouse-xcor mouse-ycor) > 4 [ facexy mouse-xcor mouse-ycor right random 180 ; a bit of random variation helps left random 180 ; the turtles separate from each other forward 0.1 ] ] end
You can use facexy (mouse-xcor) (mouse-ycor + 1)
