Removing a Block
                  To remove a block in AI Connect, follow the given steps:

                   Step 1   Click and hold on the block from script area that you want to
                           remove.

                   Step 2   Drag it towards the dustbin icon on the bottom right corner
                           of the script area and drop it.

                                                     OR
                   Step 1   Drag the set of blocks back to the block palette and drop them.


                  What is Turtle?
                  A turtle is a point-sized cursor that we can move around using python programming language.
                  It is used to make drawings in AI Connect. It can also be modified in different ways to bring
                  multiple effects thereby making a graphical design.

                  It follows a written code and draws wherever it moves.

                     A turtle can design by moving backward or forward with number
                  l
                    of steps to draw thereby making a shape.


                     A turtle can turn or move sideways by providing angles.
                  l

                     A turtle can be lifted up while moving so it does not draw for
                  l
                    some distance to create gaps in the drawing.


                     A turtle can change colour to draw any multicoloured graphic
                  l
                    design.


                  Creating a Turtle
                  In order to create turtle, we need a variable. So, the first thing we will do is to open up a  new
                  activity and create a new variable. To create a new variable, follow the given steps:
                   Step 1   Click on Create variable                    block from the Variables category and name

                           your variable anything (Let us name it—T).

                   Step 2   Drag out set T to                 block from the variable category.


                   Step 3   Go to draw then Turtles                    block category and drag out the create new


                           turtle                  block to the script area.



                   Step 4   Attach it to the set T                 block in the script area. From here on, the turtle is

                           created and more turtle blocks can be used to control it.
