Updated milestones:

• set up screen
• user is able to click on screen and choose mode
• Mondrian mode
• user is able to draw squares with thick edges
• user is able to draw rectangles (standing up and lying down) with thick edges
• user is able to change shapes
• user is able to change color of the pen
• user is able to change size of the pen
• Pollock mode
• create blobs of different styles
• user is able to change blob style of the pen
• user is able to change color of the pen
• user is able to change size of the pen

So I was able to finish the code for one drawing mode (Mondrian). For the other one the codes should be similar, I would just need to create different shape of drawing. I thought of another mode which is Warhol which would let user create an image and then multiply that image. This would require recording turtle’s movement somehow but I dont think I have enough tools to do this.

I struggled a little bit with the screen methods. I was having a problem for more than 1 hour and then I realized I was missing “()” after the screen command T_T. In this app I’m using global variable, which is different from the class method shown in the O’Reilley. I’m not sure what are the advantages and disadvantages of these 2 methods. I also dont understand the class method very well…

I was also not sure why shape1/shape2 dont need to be global here while pensz has to be global. In addition, I have to define the variable pensz before defining the function whereas in my previous Clicky turtle, I didnt.

Clicky turtle:

Things I think would improve user interface: A way to let user know which shape or color they are on or a list of colors and shapes that they can cycle through.
