Definition: The See condition checks if the agent at the cell indicated by the Direction parameter looks like the shape specified in the Shape parameter. The dot (.) in the direction parameter refers to the agent itself, so the agent can check its own shape.
If the cell in the indicated contains the chosen shape, the See condition is true. Otherwise, the condition is false.
Parameters: direction, shape
Additional Parameters: layer
Example: The Shark agent in the Fish Tank simulation looks above it to see if there is a Fish agent to eat, and also checks to see if the Shark itself looks like a Shark going left and decides to change directions or move to the left.
