Here are the four basic turtle movements - you should reconzige them as the AP CSP Robot Grid Movemements

What is the deal with the options? Python was built as a learning or teaching language. That means they built in some flexability when it comes to syntax.

Your assignment - turn in a scan of your notes from today with the psuedocode of how to draw the letter x using only these 4 commands and your brain

The turtle robot, a simple robot controlled from the user's workstation that is designed to carry out the drawing functions assigned to it using a small retractable pen set into or attached to the robot's body

A drawing turtle is going to have three attributes a location, an orientation (or direction), and a pen. The pen will have its own attributes: color, width, and on/off state.

When we program with a turtle, we are using body syntonic reasoning - in other words - we can predict and reason about the turtles movements by imagining what we would do if we were the turtle.

#creating a new drawing turtle named mock
mock = turtle.Turtle()
#moving mock forward 100 steps
mock.forward(100)
#mock is making a left hand turn at 60 degrees
mock.left(60)

This is sequential code! One line executes AFTER the one before it has finished.

The # are programmer comments that clarify the action

mock.forward()

Mock is the name of the object we created (mock is an instance of the turtle) and we are calling the method/function/procedure of forward. These methods already exist in the Python library.

mock.forward(100)

The 100 is the value passed into the method as an argument. - allowing us to use this method for any number of steps we want the turtle to take.
