Prerequisites[edit]
Research[edit]
Background[edit]
Turtle graphics enable us to not only lift and drop the pen, but also to change the pen color and thickness. Using these tools and prior knowledge, we can generate a wide variety of colorful and complex patterns.
Experiment[edit]
Getting Started[edit]
Begin a new project
Create an Igis shell project within your "project" directory.
cd ~/projects
git clone https://github.com/TangoGolfDigital/IgisShell IgisShell-ColorfulTurtle
Enter into the Sources directory of the new project.
cd IgisShell-ColorfulTurtle/Sources/IgisShell/
Build the project. (This may take some time.)
swift build
Run the project.
swift run
Open a browser (or use a new tab on an already-open browser). Go to the URL: http://www.codermerlin.com/users/user-name/dyn/index.html
NOTE: You MUST change user-name to your actual user name. For example, http://www.codermerlin.com/users/john-williams/dyn/index.html
You'll know your successful if you see the title bar change to "Coder Merlin: IGIS". (The browser window will be blank because we haven't added any graphics yet.)
