LogoTurtle
The turtle you will use in this assignment is inspired by the Turtle Graphics in the [Logo Programming Language] created by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert, and Cynthia Solomon. The turtle was a robot which would draw with a pen on paper place on the floor. We will less excitingly draw on the screen with OpenGL.
A primer on how to use a turtle in its native habitat.
The provided class LogoTurtle below provides methods to get and set its pen color and width, pick the pen up and put it down, move forward, and turn right in degrees.
Note: attr_accessor :pen_color, :pen_width
provides pen_color, pen_color=, pen_width, and pen_width= methods.
class LogoTurtle attr_accessor :pen_color, :pen_width def initialize super @is_pen_down = true @pen_width = 0.005 @pen_color = Color::WHITE end def pen_up @is_pen_down = true end def pen_down @is_pen_down = false end def forward(amount) y = amount x = @pen_width if @is_pen_down glColor3f(@pen_color.red, @pen_color.green, @pen_color.blue) glBegin(GL_QUADS) glVertex2d(-x, 0.0) glVertex2d(-x, y) glVertex2d(x, y) glVertex2d(x, 0.0) glEnd() end glTranslatef(0,y,0) end def right(degrees) glRotatef(degrees, 0, 0, 1) end end
Flower Client
In this example client, a square is drawn by repeatedly moving forward and turning right 90 degrees. The flower is drawn by repeatedly drawing slightly turned from each other squares.
class Flower def initialize super @turtle = LogoTurtle.new end def render flower end private def square 4.times do @turtle.forward 0.5 @turtle.right 90 end end def flower 36.times do @turtle.right 10 square end end end

TeleportingTurtle

class: | TeleportingTurtle | |
superclass: | Turtle | |
methods: | preserve_yield_restore |
This utility method will simply preserve the current state, yield to the block passed by the client, and then restore the preserved state.
Note: the private preserve_state and restore_state methods have been provided to you.
Branch

class: | Branch | |
superclass: | Object | |
methods: | branch |
The goal of this assignment is to render a branch that looks something akin to the progression of max_depth branches below.
Note: the initialize method constructs a new instance of TeleportingTurtle as well as hangs onto the parameter values in instance variables.

branch(length, line_width_in_pixels, depth_remaining)
Pass a block to #preserve_yield_restore to handle the preservation and restoration of the necessary OpenGL and TeleportingTurtle state.
Note: to produce the reference images the code below was used:
next_length = length * 0.5 next_line_width_in_pixels = line_width_in_pixels * 0.8
Note: the child branches in the reference images are located at one third and at two thirds from the beginning to the end.
Note: the child branches in the reference images are rotated 30.0 degrees and -30.0 degrees from their parent branch.
Note: in the recursive case the child branches were drawn before the line at the current depth to allow the green to be beneath the brown.
Do NOT worry if your images are not exact matches of the reference images.
