Method Inst_MoveTargetForward3

avida-core/source/cpu/cHardwareCPU.cc:9001–9045

This command should move the organism to the neighbor cell that is a target. If more than one target exists, it moves towards the last-seen one. If no target exists, the organism moves forward in its original facing. This version ignores the neighbors beind and to the side of the organism

// facing.  This version ignores the neighbors beind and to the side of
