The Code 7 Project - Problem 3 - Turtle Drawing
Drawing with code. This was more of a fun exercise than it was "serious" problem-solving. Basically, for problem 3, I tested out the drawing capabilities of the Turtle extension of Python. I made it draw a certain species of fractal pattern (something like the patterns in tree branching or lung branching). The Python code gives simple interactivity with Terminal to let you choose the number of fractal "levels" in the output drawing. My solution just took a couple of functions to modularize things, as well as a little recursion (see example code for "tail recursion" under Problem 2).
