I am back to working with MW PRO and MW2 for a bit with the eighth grade.

 

I found a paper that challenged them to draw an hour glass with just five instructions using setpos

 

So it is

to hourglass

pd

setpos [-45 60]

setpos [45 60]

setpos [-45 -60]

setpos[[45 -60]

setpos [0 0]

end

 

Now the challenge is to draw a hourglass with variable

hourglass 40 80  

 

I cannot find a way to do this with the five directions.  I assume they want me to use variables in the setpos but I have not found a way to do so.  This challenge was out of a book for Logo not just MW so not sure if it will work with MW.

Would appreciate any help. I can't challenge my eithgh grade to do this when I can't figure it out. They have not worked on logo for a year and I am sad at how much they have forgotten. Yet they want to learn more.  

Thanks,

     Jean Stringer
