Hi all, As a general way to explain the concepts of coding, such as loops, variables, is to use the block to draw a triangle picture with repeat steps (moving forward, and angles for turn). These are the common examples which are used in [code.org](http://code.org) and Scratch. When I try to deploy the above examples into Arcade game here, I am able to find the block with drawing the line, but could not find the block with angle, so that I can draw the line in the direction of change at the point of triangle, say 120 degree. I have done some homework before raising above, one way is to create a customized functional block from the function provided by Java script. But I am not that kind of experienced users yet, which I want to check is it a simply way to resolve the above question – use a simply block type code with angle function? Thanks Jack ---

Thanks, but it use Java script, which is a not a idea way to do so if i like to bring this exercise to the kids. That is why i like to check is there a simply way - which just use block type. Thanks Jack ---

No, we don’t have any “turtle” blocks by default in Arcade. Would make a great extension though! ---

After 1. Fixing a tiny typo in setPosition() 2. Changing screen dimension to 160 \* 120, (@peli, wondering why the original was 4 \* 4, just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. 🙃) 3. Adding rightTurn() / leftTurn() / clearScreen() ( Still remember using these as a kid) And, after almost 30 years, I can still code those classic programs 😄 😄 😄 > **[test screen-turtle](https://arcade.makecode.com/83608-92560-75080-22334)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

I’m guessing it was 4x4 because it was forked from the micro:bit turtle extension… ---
