Other types of moves are more challenging to implement, but will give more realistic
simulations. You are now asked to implement the medium flexibility move, illustrated in
the bottom left panel in Figure 5. It has the following rules: Every monomer belonging
to the polymer is moved one step in the same horizontal (vertical) direction. If any
of these monomers collide with a monomer belonging to a different polymer, the entire
row (column) where this occurs is not moved, it remains in place. Collision-free rows
(columns) move as normal. In order to highlight the difference between this type of move,
and a full flexibility move (which you are not asked to implement!), an illustration of a
full flexibility move is also included in Figure 5.
Implement the medium flexibility move. Tip: It might be useful to do this exercise
in tandem with 2 f) (#15)
