By default, StarLogo Nova displays the the setup button widget. More buttons can be added by pressing ‘edit interface.’ After new push buttons are created, they will be displayed in the dropdown menu in the when pushed button. This button executes the instructions within the code when the button is pressed. In this case, we see common setup behavior.
