Python is a text-based programming language, so instructions are written as lines of code rather than dragged blocks. Python includes a turtle feature that draws graphics on the screen, leaving a line behind it like the old robot. Before any turtle command will work, the line ______ turtle must go at the ______ of the file, above the rest of the code.

turtle.forward moves the turtle forwards by the amount you give and draws a line as it goes. turtle.______ moves it backwards along the same line. To turn, turtle.right rotates the turtle ______, and turtle.left rotates it anticlockwise.

To draw a regular shape, the turtle moves forward and turns the same amount once for each side. That turn is the ______ angle, found by dividing ______ by the number of sides. A square has four sides, so each turn is ______ degrees.

turtle.______ lifts the pen, so the turtle moves without drawing a line. turtle.pendown puts the pen back down so it draws again. Use this to reach a new place without a line joining the shapes. turtle.______ changes how fast the turtle draws, and turtle.______ changes how the turtle looks.
