Movement Algorithm

There are four separate movement algorithms. The first simulates aliens who move in a random direction, but always move if possible. The second simulates aliens who choose a random direction and move only in that direction. The third simulates aliens who always move in the same direction if possible, then move in other directions when otherwise. The fourth simulates the same aliens as the first, except adds a hesitation factor such that the aliens may decide not the colonize each turn.
