LQ: How can I improve my letter algorithm?

Nov 252013
 

Today we are going to try to improve our algorithms for drawing letters in Textease.

PLEASE make sure you are keeping all of your instructions on a page along with the pictures they draw – soon we will print and I will want to see what you have done.

Steps for success today:

  1. Complete a letter
  2. Add instructions at the end so that your turtle is ready for the next letter (you will need pu and pd)
  3. Do another letter
  4. Tidy up algorithm, label it, **label parts
  5. Set up a procedure to type a letter
  6. Use setfillcolour command (see Textease help) **What can you do about letters with holes?
  7. Make a letter flower by repeating your letter:  repeat 6 R rt 360/6 end
  8. Shadow letter

LQ: How do I write algorithms to solve problems?

Nov 182013
 

Let’s start with a challenge!  Have a go at Blockly Maze  How far can you get?

Next we will look at LOGO using Textease Turtle.

  1. Choose a letter, for example the first letter of your name.
  2. Draw it as a bubble letter on squared paper using straight horizontal and vertical lines that always join dots.
  3. Have a go at writing an algorithm (set of instructions) to make your turtle draw the letter.

Steps to success…

  • LOGO instructions: fd 20   bk 20  lt 90   rt 90
  • Remember lt means “turn left” not “go left”
  • Plan your instruction on your paper
  • Need a space between letters and numbers
  • Select instructions (double click – red squares) then turtle/play button
  • Try out often to test, then debug

Extension – draw a letter with a hole, eg A, R, O, D, B, etc

  • Use pu (pen up) and pd (pen down) if you need to get somewhere without drawing a line
