Hello Group,
I'm working with my 11 year old nephew and I'm completely new to all of this.

He figured out how to make a moon and passed level 8. 

We tried to same strategy to add a black circle in level 9. The result looks correct, but it is not letting us pass. 

Would love someone's feedback on the following code.  

Thank you! 
Kim

Hello,

Attached is an animation showing the difference between the expected
solution and your solution. As one can see, there's a slight
difference in the angle of the moon.

Instead of "left by 72, backwards 20", try "right by 120, forwards 20".

However, your are right. Your solution is close enough that there's
no educational benefit in Blockly Games rejecting it and forcing the
student to frustration over a 12 degree difference (120 - 180 + 72).
I'll look into making Blockly Games Turtle level 9 also accept your
solution.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
