    The first part,

    wiggle(0,0)[0]

    doesn’t really do anything, it just gives you the existing x coordinate, the same as

    value[0]

    the second part

    wiggle(1,2)[1]

    gives you the current y position plus a small wiggle in the y direction.

    It would be the same as this

    [value[0],wiggle(1,2)[1]]

    or this

    x = value[0];
    y = wiggle(1,2)[1];
    [x,y]
