type fd 5 and make sure the 'Once' is selected.
watch the turtle and click on 'Start'
Each time you click on 'Start', the turtle should jump ahead!
Now, select 'Many Times' and click on 'Start'
You have just programmed the turtle to move forward (fd) 5, over and over again.
Congratulate yourself, You Are A Programmer!
Now press 'Stop'.
Now, click in the 'Instructions' box and move to just after the 5.
Add a space then type rt 45, it should now read fd 5 rt 45 and 'Many Times' is still selected.
Press on 'Start'
Neat eh? If you make a mistake or type a command that the turtle
doesn't understand, it won't work. In the real Project Builder you get a proper error message.
