Instructions

This is a simple exercise for learning about lists. The addition of left turns complicates the patterns generated but if enough data is collected by experiment patterns in behavior do emerge. There is a relationship between Order and Cycle in this project. In the Spirolateral Bot 1 project there is a single pattern generated by Order 5. In this project, there are 32 ways to order right and left turns for Order 5. Let me know any interesting patterns you find. The left and right turns are 90 degree turns. Patterns really begin to get complicated (and perhaps even more interesting) when other turns, like 60 degree turns, are used. I leave this for the interested Scratcher to remix and share.
