I was introduced to Pascal’s Turtle Graphics back in the 90’s. I thought it was cool but never had a real use for it; x,y seemed easier for some reason. I started drawing SVG’s for a laser engraver and suddenly I wish other languages had them. I even started to write my own but I don’t know the math (even though I hear it’s relatively simple). I may get back to that but I figured out that simple scaling gets me there by reducing the cognitive load of pixels.

I don’t know if this makes sense but I was feeling nostalgic for turtle graphics.

Python has a turtle graphics module.
