Week #1


In my quest to catch up with this class I had to first tackle the issue of the first homework assignment, involving the LOGO software and a turtle!I was first greeted with a rather cryptic user interface.I'm always up for a challenge so I consulted week 1 info for some insight on how to operate LOGO. 

After learning on some linked websites and online resources, I wrote my first initial draft at creating a square in LOGO.

But it wasn't seeming to run... I decided to venture deeper into the given instructions to find some sort of solution. 

Iti s not running, I needed to call the function after creating it. I also learned that the X,Y numeration is different in LOGO than something like processing, instead of 0,0 being the top left, it is in the middle of the screen. Things are coming along nicely, for thios program, the top left coordinates are -500 500, I learned how functions work and how I can create multiple.Using PENUP the turtle won't draw as it moves to the top left, it will then subsequently draw a square as the SQUARE function is called. Now I have to find a way to draw random blocks of different forms, crating a quilt pattern.I created a function that randomly selects a square. MAKE creates a variable, and then that variable randomly selects one of the squares. All that's left is to make the turtle move across and down the screen as it draws the quilt.Whoops! We may need to find a new way to rotate out beautiful little turtle around. It now draws very smoothly, facing right after every square., drawing six, then moving down to the next one. The one issue is that the first square starts hight than the rest, I know why this is, it moves right from the bottom of the first square, making the other ones lower, but I can't think of a way to fix this. I may need to consult my Professor on this...
