sprout1.0

sprout number [ commands ] sprout-<breeds> number [ commands ]

Creates number new turtles on the current patch. The new turtles have random integer headings and the color is randomly selected from the 14 primary colors. The turtles immediately run commands. This is useful for giving the new turtles different colors, headings, or whatever. (The new turtles are created all at once then run one at a time, in random order.)

If the sprout-<breeds> form is used, the new turtles are created as members of the given breed.

If number is fractional, it will be rounded down to the nearest integer (4.5 becomes 4, 10.9 becomes 10).

sprout 5
sprout-wolves 10

sprout-sheep 1 [ set color black ]
