self organizing blocks

Game Introduction

A fun challenge. Make a set of blocks that self organize. All blocks are duplicates and only know about the world by what they touch. They don't know their position, but they do know what direction is down. They know that all the other blocks are duplicates of themselves, and so they know what pattern of colors to expect on the other blocks. They know the color of their container. They do not know the name of any other sprites. A "randomize" broadcast makes them go to at random position. A "line up" broadcast with global variable "running" st to true starts them going. If "running" changes to false then they stop. If they are moving then they set global variable "lined up" to false. My first attempt is not great, but it was fun to do and a little fun to watch (in presentation mode.)
