Listed below is the complete set of code for a problem.
It is the classic turtle graphics problem. PenUp, PenDown, Turn Left, Turn Right, Move, print Array.
The problem occurs during the boundary checking in a two dimensional array. The program works except for boundary checking area. The code has been commented out and marked.
In some cases the right / East and west boundary was not exceeded but the program jumped into the if > limit.
Also, the South and West boundary equations are posing a problem. My eyes are fuzzy from looking at this code.
Any Ideas?
