;Setup Procedure
;Clears everything and then initializes the variables. Initial FEAR-LEVEL is randommly assigned and 
;the group is based on each turtle's WHO and how many groups there should be.
;The ask people call is necessary after the create-people command block because not all the 
;people have been assigned to a group yet and so there would be no links created for the first 
;few turtles. Initialize the global variables and patch variables as well.

;Go Procedure
;The go procedure checks if a terror event has occurred. Then it asks the people
;to adjust their FEAR-LEVEL based on the person they physically encounter and if
;this is a network, adjust their FEAR-LEVEL based on the network.
;Then adjust the FEAR-LEVEL based on whether there is any RESIDUAL-FEAR left on the 
;patch. Update the color and the LAST-PATCH-RESIDUAL to the RESIDUAL-FEAR of the current 
;patch. Then move. Then check the patches to see if they should be showing the residual fear
;and then decay any RESIDUAL-FEAR by the RESIDUAL-DECAY-RATE. Then finally check if 
;there is a community intervention on this turn.

;terror-event procedure
;Checks to see if the mouse is currently not down and was previously down. This is done 
;so that the only a single click is registered, instead of registering the entire time that the mouse
;is down. If a click is detected, everyone within the radius is increase their FEAR-LEVEL
;by the TERROR-SEVERITY. Set the residual fear for the surrounding patches and then start HELP-TIMER
;whcih keeps track of when community intervention occurs. TERROR-EVENT? is then updated 
;as is the current status of the mouse.

;adjust-fear-levels, a turtle procedure
;The FEAR-LEVELs of the people are adjusted based on what the the FEAR-LEVEL of the
;other-turtle argument. To do this, it takes 5% of the difference in FEAR-LEVELs 
;(whether positive or negative) and adds it to its own FEAR-LEVEL. 

to adjust-fear-levels [other-turtle]
  if other-turtle != nobody
  [
    let difference round ([fear-level] of other-turtle - fear-level) / 20
    let fear-change round (fear-level + difference)

      [ set fear-level 0 ]
      [ 
        ifelse fear-change > 100
        [ set fear-level 100 ]

          [ set fear-level fear-change ]
      ]
    ]
  ]
end 

;residual-fear-effect, a turtle procedure
;Increases the FEAR-LEVEL by the current RESIDUAL-FEAR of the patch the turtle is on

to residual-fear-effect
  if [residual-fear] of patch-here != 0 and last-patch-residual = 0
  [
    let pdifference fear-level + [residual-fear] of patch-here
    ifelse pdifference > 100

    [ set fear-level pdifference ]
  ]
end 

;move, a turtle procedure
;If there is a person ahead and a random number is less than the fear-level, 
;then go towards them, otherwise turn randomly and then advance forward.

to move
  let person-ahead one-of people in-cone 2 120
  ifelse person-ahead != nobody and (random 100 + 1) < fear-level
  [ face person-ahead ]
  [ rt random 121 - 60 ]
  fd 1
end 

;update-color, a turtle procedure
;updates COLOR of turtle, lower FEAR-LEVEL is more blue and higher FEAR-LEVEL
;is more red.

to update-color
  ifelse fear-level = 50
  [ set color white ]
  [
    ifelse fear-level > 50
