ABM showing behavior when people align with others

WHAT IS IT?

I have made this model to demonstrate how agents behave in dynamic groups.

HOW IT WORKS

We are able to create agents and then agents start moving randomly. Now, if they find some other agents in their close range, they will have two options. One is to face one of them with a given probability of align. The other is to face the same heading as the other agent with that given probability

HOW TO USE IT

You can play with the sliders to change the number of turtles created or change the alignment probability (in percentage) or the options of alignment.

THINGS TO NOTICE

It is interesting to try to change the probability of alignment. And see the behavior.
