I want to try create charts or animation Pursuit Curve. I coped code from this file but it doesn’t work. I have no idea why.

Unit[l_] := l/Sqrt[l.l]

PursuitCurve[a_, p0_, {t_, t0_, t1_, dt_}, r_: 1., opts___] := Module[
  {
   soln, curve,
   x, y, f
   },
  soln = NDSolve[{
     Unit[a - {x[t], y[t]}].{x'[t], y'[t]} == 1,
     x'[t]^2 + y'[t]^2 == 1,
     x[0] == p0[[1]],
     y[0] == p0[[2]]
     }, {x[t], y[t]}, {t, t0, t1}];
  targetpath = ParametricPlot[a, {t, t0, t1},
     DisplayFunction -> Identity][[1]];
  curve = ParametricPlot[Evaluate[{x[t], y[t]} /. soln], {t, t0, t1},
     PlotRange -> All, AspectRatio -> Automatic,
     DisplayFunction -> Identity,
     PlotStyle -> Red][[1]];
  d = D[a, t];
  movie = Show /@ Table[Graphics[{
       Arrow[a, a + r d],
       {Thickness[.02], targetpath},
       {Dashing[{1, 1} .02], Blue,
        Line[{pt = {x[t], y[t]} /. soln[[1]], a}]
        },
       {Red, curve},
       {PointSize[.08], Point[a]},
       {Blue, Arrow[pt, pt + r Unit[a - pt]]},
       {Red, PointSize[.05], Point[pt]}
       },
      opts,
      AspectRatio -> Automatic],
     {t, t0, t1, dt}]
  ]

PursuitCurve[{0, t}, {1, -1}, {t, 0, 2, .05}, .2, 
 PlotRange -> {{-.1, 1.1}, {-1.1, 2.1}}]

Please use the following code form the demonstration Pursuit Curves by @Michael Trott:

The syntax for Arrow has changed. Try with this:

Unit[l_] := l/Sqrt[l.l]
PursuitCurve[a_, p0_, {t_, t0_, t1_, dt_}, r_: 1., opts___] := 
  Module[{soln, curve, x, y, f, targetpath, d}, 
   soln = NDSolve[{Unit[a - {x[t], y[t]}].{x'[t], y'[t]} == 1, 
      x'[t]^2 + y'[t]^2 == 1, x[0] == p0[[1]], 
      y[0] == p0[[2]]}, {x[t], y[t]}, {t, t0, t1}];
   targetpath = ParametricPlot[a, {t, t0, t1}][[1]]; 
   curve = ParametricPlot[Evaluate[{x[t], y[t]} /. soln], {t, t0, t1},
       PlotRange -> All, AspectRatio -> Automatic, 
      PlotStyle -> Red][[1]]; d = D[a, t];
   movie = 
    ListAnimate[
     Table[Graphics[{Arrow[{a, a + r d}], {Thickness[.02], 
         targetpath}, {Dashing[{1, 1} .02], Blue, 
         Line[{pt = {x[t], y[t]} /. soln[[1]], a}]}, {Red, 
         curve}, {PointSize[.08], Point[a]}, {Blue, 
         Arrow[{pt, pt + r Unit[a - pt]}]}, {Red, PointSize[.05], 
         Point[pt]}}, opts, AspectRatio -> Automatic], {t, t0, t1, 
       dt}]]];

PursuitCurve[{0, t}, {1, -1}, {t, 0, 2, .05}, .2, 
 PlotRange -> {{-.1, 1.1}, {-1.1, 2.1}}]
