He he. :-)



import turtle as raptor
raptor.shape( "triangle" )

def draw_poison_bush( level, angle, stem_length ):
     start_pos = raptor.pos()
     raptor.left( angle )
     raptor.forward( stem_length )
     if level > 0:
         draw_poison_bush( level-1, 30, 0.7*stem_length )
         draw_poison_bush( level-1, 0, 0.85*stem_length )
         draw_poison_bush( level-1, -37, 0.65*stem_length )
     raptor.right( angle )
     raptor.goto( start_pos )

raptor.title( "A DANGEROUS poison bush!" )

raptor.left( 90 )
raptor.back( 180 )
draw_poison_bush( 6, 0, 80 )

raptor.mainloop()
