K heres the required parts.. *## takes length and the angle in radians and returns vector as x,y offsets* function aLenToVector pLen pAngle return pLen * sin(pAngle),pLen * cos(pAngle) end aLenToVector
*## takes degrees and changes to radians* function dToRadians pDegrees return pDegrees / 180 * pi end dToRadians With those 2 things, you should be able to move your turtle.
