The turtle can turn 360 degrees in a circle, either left or right. This helps you draw
shapes. For example, to draw a square you would change the value of degrees to
90 to get the right-angled turn needed before drawing the next line.

CHALLENGE
If the value of steps and the value of degrees to turn were set to 1, and the
repeat value set to 360, what shape do you think the turtle would draw?
Now that you have created a pentagon shape, how could you go about making
a hexagon shape, or an octagon shape?
