LOGO-L> changing and saving turtle shapes

[john wood]

I am working on a project to make a chess game. I have made the board and
have started to put turtles on the board to represent the different pieces.

I am a total rookie about changing shapes of the turtles. BUT most
important will be SAVING the shapes, RECALLING the shapes from the disk and
being able to USE the shapes.

Help is appreciated, but please don't go too fast.

Thank you for accepting this challenge.

PC Logo turtle shapes are variables. You can create the shapes
and store them in variables such as :TURTLE1, :TURTLE2, etc. Then
you can use SETSHAPE to change the shape of one or more turtles by
supplying the appropriate variable name. I would suggest you keep
your shapes in a file or in your program file and load them prior
to running the program. If the variables are there, then SETSHAPE
should be happy.
