Reminder : The Turtle Instructions

import turtle Tell Python to allow use of turtle commands

wn = turtle.Screen() Create a virtual canvas to draw on (Screen)

bob = turtle.Turtle() Create a new turtle called bob

bob.forward(150) Go forward (150 units)

bob.backward(150) Go backward (150 units)

bob.right(90) Turn right (90 degrees)

bob.left(90) Turn left (90 degrees)

bob.penup() Lifts the pen up so you can move the turtle without drawing

bob.pendown() Drops the pen back onto the screen so you can draw

bob.pensize(5) Sets the turtle drawing width to 5 units (1 = thinnest)

bob.fillcolor(“Brown”) Changes the fill colour to brown(or other colour)

bob.pencolor(“Red”) Changes the pen colour to red (or other colour)
