You tell it how far to move, how far to turn (right turn 15 is 90 degrees right), you can tell it to pause (and how many tenths of a second to pause for) etc. It&#39;s like the turtle from the LOGO computer program and is going to be great fun in class!<br /><br />Merry Christmas again!<br />Dave<br />@reflectivemathsDave Galehttp://reflectivemathsteacher.posterous.comnoreply@blogger.com
