First (almost) meaningful simulation

I have now written and run the first draft of my simulation aimed at answering the question of whether a chick's lateralization affects its parents' behavior. The reason it is only almost meaningful is because I have yet to give it reasonable probability constants or take into account lateralization of chick behavior or orientation of the fish in the adult's beak. These things will be relatively easy to implement, though, and that is my goal over the following week (along with more measures on the simulation for determining whether the hypothers is true or false).
