Steps

2. Use it in a loop. Add 'repeat height times' and inside it 'agent place down', then 'agent move up by 1'. ☐
3. Turn the dial. Run tower. Then change 10 to 20 and run it again somewhere else. Same code, taller tower. ☐

Sky Scaffold

Build a tower at least 20 blocks tall with a 3 × 3 platform on top. Use a variable for the height.
