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.
l A turtle can design by moving backward or forward with
number of steps to draw thereby making a shape.
l 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
some distance to create gaps in the drawing.
l A turtle can change colour to draw any multicoloured
graphic design.

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
