TSF ‐ Vector Language

THIS DOESN'T WORK IN ORIGIN ANYMORE

docs are just here so i can recreate this system in future if i want to

Examples:

Drawing an Octagon:

penup
setpensize 3
forward 5
setheading 180
forward -2.5
pendown
8 times [
  forward 5
  right 45
]

• penup: Lifts the pen to prevent drawing.
• setpensize 3: Sets the pen size to 3 units.
• forward 5: Moves the turtle forward by 5 units.
• setheading 180: Sets the turtle's heading (direction) to 180 degrees (facing backward).
• forward -2.5: Moves the turtle backward by 2.5 units.
• pendown: Places the pen down to start drawing.
• 8 times [ ... ]: Executes the enclosed actions 8 times, which includes moving forward by 5 units and turning right by 45 degrees.

Drawing a Square:

penup
setpensize 3
setheading 90
forward 2.5
left 90
forward 2.5
pendown
4 times [
  left 90
  forward 5
]

• penup: Lifts the pen.
• setpensize 3: Sets the pen size to 3 units.
• setheading 90: Sets the turtle's heading to 90 degrees (facing up).
• forward 2.5: Moves the turtle forward by 2.5 units.
• left 90: Turns the turtle left by 90 degrees.
• pendown: Places the pen down to start drawing.
• 4 times [ ... ]: Executes the enclosed actions 4 times, which includes turning left by 90 degrees and moving forward by 5 units.

Commands:

• pu or penup: Lifts the pen to prevent drawing.
• pd or pendown: Places the pen down to start drawing.
• ps or setpensize: Sets the width of the pen
• fd int or forward int: Moves the turtle forward by the specified integer units.
• bk int or backward int: Moves the turtle backward by the specified integer units.
• h or home: Sets the turtle back to its starting position.
• seth angle or setheading angle: Sets the turtle's heading (direction) to the specified angle.
• lt degrees or left degrees: Turns the turtle left by the specified number of degrees.
• rt degrees or right degrees: Turns the turtle right by the specified number of degrees.
• int times [ actions ]: Runs the enclosed actions the specified number of times.

These commands and examples provide a way to control the turtle's movements and drawing actions, allowing you to create various shapes and patterns by scripting its actions in .tsf files.
