CIS 236 Interactive Web Programming

Exercise - Programming with Turtle Graphics

The purpose of this exercise is to explore some of the basic concepts of "programming" using a web-based environment to experiment with Turtle Graphics.

Using Bill Kendrick's Turtle Graphics website: http://sonic.net/~nbs/webturtle/

  1. Familiarize yourself with the concepts and basic commands by reading the documentation and exploring the provided examples.
  2. Create a list of commands that will display a flower. Daisy, tulip, rose... you decide, but the more "petals" and colors the better
  3. Sign your masterpiece using the text output commands to put your initials in the corner of the picture.

For grading purposes, word process a summary document containing the following:

  1. Proper formatting, grammar and spelling (in the prose parts at least)
  2. Complete "header" information (or a cover page)
  3. Show the picture drawn by your program.
  4. A listing of the source code instructions to draw the picture.
  5. A brief write up and  annotated source listing identifying how this program demonstrates the use of key programming constructs (sequence, selection, variables, repetition, etc.)

This assignment will be due at the beginning of class on the due date
