This is a story how triumph turned into tragedy read at your own risk.

The assignment was to code the turtle to draw our names. I managed to code my entire name perfectly. I learned a lot in this experience and I hope you’ll join me in my journey.

Z

When brainstorming on my code I decided that I wanted every letter of my name to be a different color. Just so you know my name is Zaine. The Z was purple. It was the easiest to code. All I had to do was make the turtle move forward, turn, forward repeat. Keep in mind that only the Z was capitalized and all the other letters were lowercase.

A

For the A I decided to use an arc block for the code. I made an arc which is basically a circle and then coded a line coming off of it and bam A. The A was teal.

I

The I surprisingly took the most code. I had to use pen up pen down commands to make the dot on top disconnect from the I. The I was green.

N

For the N, I simply had to command the turtle to move forward, turn 120 degrees, forward, it was as easy as the Z. I made the N dark blue.

E

The E was the hardest to code. I ended up coding it pink. It took me sometime to think about how to do the E but in the end I used an arc block to make a circle but I coded it so that the circle would only go 3/4 around and stop. Then I coded a line from the end to form an E.

To keep everything organised I used action blocks to simplify my code. will writing this I don’t think I used action blocks as they were intended to be used but there’s nothing I can do now.

So far you have heard about a few of my struggles but, you have yet to hear the terrible thing fate had instore for us. Reader I advise you to leave this post and turn away if you are faint of heart. I was done with my project and my CSAI teacher Mr.Dembo gave me another project to work on. I made another project and started working and didn’t realise my fatal mistake. I forgot to save my work. My entire project was deleted and I had nothing to submit the day it was due. But thankfully I was given the opportunity to write about my post in full detail for a chance at a good grade.
