Definition:

The See-A condition: checks if the agent at the cell indicated by the Direction parameter is of the class specified in the Agent Class Name parameter.

In contrast to the See Condition, the See-a condition picks out all the shapes of a given agent. Use it to identify an agent regardless of the way it looks.
Parameters:

directionthe direction to look for the target agent

agent class namethe type of agent to look for

Optional Parameters: Layer parameter: the See-a condition can check to see if the specified agent exists in a layer other than the current layer the agent resides on.
Example: If the Frog agent in the Frogger game sees a Truck agent to its left (no matter how the truck looks like), it will collide with it and plays a sound, changes to look like the dead frog, waits half a second, erases itself, decrements the Lives counter and broadcasts to the frog_generator to create a new Frog at the start.
