🧭 Move & Turn

Directions and Turning

The turtle always moves in the direction it is currently facing. When it starts, it faces right. A Turn Left 90° rotates it a quarter-turn counterclockwise.

• Start → facing Right
• Turn Left once → facing Up
• Turn Left twice → facing Left
• Turn Left three times → facing Down
• Turn Left four times → back to Right

Planning Before You Code

The best programmers plan first, code second. Before building a program, try sketching the turtle's path on paper with arrows.

1. Move Forward 100 → turtle goes right
2. Turn Left 90° → now facing up
3. Move Forward 100 → turtle goes up
