Key Held?	[▼] key held?	[▼] key held? is a type of logic block that returns a boolean. A true is returned if a specific key denoted in the drop down is held down in the current tick.

Create	create [_] [▼](s)	create [_] [▼](s) is used to populate Spaceland with agents.
On Collision With Do	on collision with [▼] do	on collision with [▼] do begins the execution of a stack of code when a collision is detected with a specific type of agent denoted in the drop down selector. The agent collided with is known as the "collidee". This agent can be referenced using the collidee block.
Create Each Do	create [_] [▼](s) each do	create [_] [▼](s) each do is used to populate Spaceland with agents and then run a stack of code individually for each agent. This can be useful for making many agents and setting different traits for each.

For example, if there are five agents of the breed, everyone will be scattered 5 times as each individual agent runs the code.

About
Forward Block.png
Forward	forward [_]	forward [_] moves the agent in Spaceland in the heading it is facing. The renderer tweens the movement such that it appears the agent changes location smoothly instead of instantaneous.
Set World To Block.png
Set World To	set world [▼] to [_]	set world [▼] to [_] is used to set traits of the world in a similar way to agents.
When Pushed Block.png
When Pushed	when [▼] pushed	when [▼] pushed begins a single execution of a stack of code (from top to bottom) when the pushed button widget is pushed. Widgets can be created using the Edit Widgets feature. Note: It is useful to use the ‘when pushed’ with a push button widget when you want to execute a code segment once.
Backwards.png
Backwards	backwards [_]	backwards [_] moves the agent in Spaceland in the heading opposite that which it is facing. The renderer tweens the movement such that it appears the agent changes location smoothly instead of instantaneous.
Agent
Left By Degs.png
Left By Degs	left by [_] degs	left by [_] degs orientates the agent in Spaceland to the left of its original heading by the inputted number of degrees during each Starlogo clock tick.
Random To.png
Random To	random [_] to [_]	random [_] to [_] defines the upper and lower bounds of a range from which a random number is generated. The number is generated between and including the set limits.
Count Within Steps.png
Count Within Steps	count [▼] within [_] steps	count [▼] within [_] steps is used to provide the number of agents of a selected breed that exist within a given step limit in Spaceland.
If.png
Many agents.gif
If	if [_]	if [_] takes in comparative statements from the Logic drawer to test for a condition. The agent will only follow commands attached to the hook if the statement is true.

Count Within Steps With =	count [▼] within [_] steps with [▼] = [_]	count [▼] within [_] steps with [▼] = [_] is used to provide the number of agents of a selected breed AND specific trait that exist within a given step limit in Spaceland.
Nearest Within Steps	nearest [▼] within [_] steps	nearest [▼] within [_] steps is used to refer to the nearest agent of a selected breed that exists within a given step limit in Spaceland.
Nearest Within Steps With =	nearest [▼] within [_] steps with [▼] = [_]	nearest [▼] within [_] steps with [▼] = [_] is used to refer to the nearest agent of a selected breed AND trait that exists within a given step limit in Spaceland.
Nearest within steps with =.png
Stamp	stamp [_]	stamp [_] causes the agent to draw a circle on the terrain in the agent's current position, with size corresponding to the size of the agent.
Stamp.png
Stamp Grid	stamp grid [_]	stamp grid [_] causes the agent to color one grid square on the terrain in the agent's current color on the agent's current position.
Stamp grid.png
Pen	pen [▼]	pen [▼](s) adjusts the pen tool. If the pen is down, the agent stamps the terrain at each position as it moves. If the pen is up, the agent does not stamp the terrain.
Pen .png
Terrain Color	terrain color	terrain color refers to the color of the terrain that the agent is currently on.
Terrain color.png
Clock	clock	clock refers to the value of the clock, measured in “ticks”. This value increments by 1 after each iteration of the code. The speed that the clock increments is determined by the value of the engine speed slider. A slider value of n makes the clock tick n times per second. The clock starts at zero when the program is initiated.
Clock.png
Set Clock To	set clock to [_]	set clock to [_] sets the value of clock to some number. Typically, when you reset the clock, you want to start it at 0.
Set clock to.png
World Trait	world trait: [▼]	world trait: [▼] refers to the value of a selected world trait. World traits can be created by adding a new trait to The World breed in the breed manager (go to The World tab and click on the show traits button. Then, select “add custom trait”). This can be thought of as a “global variable."
World trait.png
The World	The World	The World refers to an agent that represents The World. Can be used as a location to mean the center of SpaceLand, which is (0,0).
The world.png
While Toggled	while [▼] toggled	while [▼] toggled executes commands repeatedly while the toggle button widget is turned on. When the toggle button widget is turned off, the commands in this block don’t run. Widgets can be created using the Edit Widgets feature. Note: It is useful to use the ‘while toggled’ block with the toggle button widget if you want the code to execute multiple times until the widget is toggled off.
While toggled.png
Hide	hide [▼]	hide [▼] hides a selected widget. Once hidden, you need to use “show” to make it visible again.
Hide.png
Show	show [▼]	show [▼] shows a selected widget. By default, all widgets are displayed to the user.
Show.png
Set Data Box To	set [▼] data box to [_]	set [▼] data box to [_] assigns a value to a selected data box.
Set data box to.png
Data Box	[▼] data box	[▼] data box refers to the value of a selected data box. Note: You should use data boxes for numerical values and labels for textual values. One advantage of using a data box is that you can title it.
Data box.png
Set Label To	set [▼] label to [_]	set [▼] label to [_] assigns a value to a selected label. Unlike data boxes, labels do not have a heading and may be assigned text values.
Set label to.png
Label	[▼] label	[▼] label refers to the value of a selected label.
Label.png
Slider Value	[▼] slider value	[▼] slider value refers to the value of a selected slider.

First create a line graph widget using the Widget Editor, and add one or more series as needed.
Add data to line graph.png
Updates and Announcements
Clear Line Graph	clear line graph [▼]	clear line graph [▼] removes all existing data on the selected line graph.
Clear line graph.png
Key typed?	[▼] key typed?	[▼] key typed? is a type of logic block that returns a boolean. A true is returned if a specific key denoted in the drop down is typed in the current tick.
