DEV LOG #1: 02/02/2025-02/04/2025

I am not the most efficient coder in the world. My code is often inelegant and inefficient, but I do what I do to get things done.  Which is why coding in logo is such a challenge for my barely functioning orangutan skull. Of all the languages I have ever dealt with this kiddie language from the 80's is somehow the one that frustrates me the most.

Yeesh.

Our assignment was to create a randomly generating quilt pattern, and this code does just that.
The functions diamondlines, blank, and diamondblank all generate 3 different quilt squares

The randopattern function does the actual randomization work, choosing one of these 3 patterns to place in order.

Then, there's a loop that repeats 6 times, which has a loop inside of it that repeats 4 times, generating 2 squares at a time. You might be wondering why I call randopattern twice... Well, I designed this initially without randomization as a testbed, and this dual call is a leftover of my initial "call two things 4 times then loop" implementation.

Finally, the code then adjusts itself, so to speak, and sets itself up for another line to be drawn. 

Our "quilt" then looks like this:



At the end of the day, this sucked. It was a painful reminder of how much I have slacked off in my coding skills and I need to work on refreshing myself so my code doesn't suck as much as this does for the rest of the semester. 

Code can be found here.
