ExtensionImplementation of the wander steering behaviour
Description
Designed to produce a steering force that will give the impression of a random walk through the agent’s environment. You will either need to read the implementation1 or experiment with it to get a sense of what the values are doing. I suggest both!

Class Methods
.new
Arguments:
| entity |
the entity on which the steering force will be applied |
| wanderRadius |
the radius of the constraining circle |
| wanderDistance |
the distance the wander circle is projected in front of the agent |
| wanderJitter |
the maximum amount of random displacement that can be added to the target each second |
Instance Methods
.value
Get the calculated force. To be used in the .force_ method of the entity. This is how the steering forces are applied.
