Hi, I was browsing through my ML archives and had an idea. Context first:
The turtle module provides both procedural and object-oriented interfaces. In my opinion, beginners should start with the procedural interface and this is what is now used in the sidebar. It is unfortunate that the manual uses "turtle" for both the name of the module and the name of the turtle instance used in OO examples. Any suggestions on how to improve this are welcome.
What about using a first name for the Turtle instance, say zoe, and use it in markup: zoe.forward(distance), zoe.right(angle), etc? Regards
