What happens if you draw turtle graphics with the help of the python random module? so rather than being explicit in how far it goes forward or how much of an angle the turtle turns while drawing. The result is something like this when you add a degee of randomness to the program.

Ok, further developments, I run the risk of overkill here but all this stuff is a kind of proof of concept, and is pretty simple to do once you know how to do things. I now have a file menu that produces the same output…
