This models a simple one dimensional random walk, showing that the
average absolute distance from the initial position converges to a
square root function.

To run the model, click "setup" then "go". The model ends when a
turtle reaches the maximum distance right or left. The "scale"
slider specifies how many steps each "patch" is. At "1", the
stopping distance is 100, at "5" it is 500.
