Example: It’s Turtles All The Way Down!
In turtleSpaces, you can ‘stamp’ the current model, leaving a copy of it in the current position. This can be useful in some circumstances, to create artworks made out of more sophisticated models. In the case of this example, we’re going to use the default ‘myrtle’ turtle model to create a descending spiral of turtles.
If you change the colors in the default palette using the definecolor primitive, then those colors are also used to render the turtle model, and by extension the stamp. And so, if we ‘cycle’ the colors, shifting their RGB values from one palette slot to the next, we can create a rotating series of differently-colored turtles.
