That’s what I thought. It just seemed like way to much to keep repeating
everything over and over. I knew there had to be a better way we just haven’t
learned loops in school yet.

Awesome, I was able to cut everything down quite a bit but, now like you say
below I’m still repeating the loop. I’m gonna see if I can make a function
with the loop to cut it down even further.
Here is what I was able to cut it down to so far with your help. I’ll paste
the new code when I make a function with the loop and maybe you guys can help
me see if it look any better/easier.
Also, does anyone know anything about turtle where I can try and move the
starting point to the upper left hand corner?
Thanks again!
