Pentominoes

Assignment: Write 12 procedures to draw the pentomino pieces, using my drawings as a guide. Pay particular attention to the name for each piece and for the start/stop location. Then write procedures to draw the two puzzles on the handout. Name them using your initials, puzzle1mdy and puzzle2mdy. Save your workspace in a file that you upload to your LOGO wikipage called pents_mdy. Due at 10 pm on 3/31.

For this assigment, I created twelve separate procedures for each simple shape: zap, chair, table, corner, and so on. Then to create the two puzzles are combined movement actions to get the turtle in the correct spot, with fill actions, and the procedures I had written for the shapes that make up each puzzle. While creating the procedures for each shape, it was very helpful to repeat certain actions in the procedure rather than utilizing too many steps. Also, it was very useful to create fill procedures and move procedures early on to speed the process. Then I was able to use these in my procedures for my puzzles. This assignment was very helpful in familiarizing me with LOGO and once I got the programming down it was very entertaining!
