Draw a Little House
A house is easy: a box for the walls and a triangle on top for the roof. You already know both shapes. All you have to do is move the turtle to the right spot in between.
💡 The idea
Big pictures are made of small shapes put in the right place.
- square 100 draws the walls and leaves the turtle at the bottom corner.
- forward 100 walks the turtle up to the top of the walls.
- right 30 tilts the turtle so the roof sits neatly on the box.
- Change the colour before a shape, not after it.
- goto 25 0 sends the turtle straight to a spot, ready for the door.
