Overall, I've made worse. Definitely turned out better than my drawing, though not by much.
Focus and patience were key for this one. As far as feelings, satisfaction at getting it working
on the first try of both test.py and proof.py. I'm tempted to do more letters; this was fun!
Feeling for this letter: relief. I didn't make the angle mistake from 'C' and also
planned ahead to avoid that mishap entirely by going clockwise from the lower-left-most
segment, rather than CCW, which allowed me to do the angled bit first and end on a straight
shot toward the lower-left corner. Now for the tricky part. I cannot get this K to look
the way I want it to in the drawing, so here's hoping my artwork is just poor.
First I realized the grid was offset one block for every letter after the D on the
proof so I modified the turtle's final position to correctly be the lower-left corner.
I mapped the 'C' and was proud at how smoothly it worked on the test.py run until I
ran proof.py and the whole thing went crazy. Turns out while I had noted all of the
segment lengths and angles for the turns, I can't tell right from left and ended up
shifting 135 degrees in the wrong direction, which explained the crazy. If I was feeling
anything there, it would be the embodiment of "oh no, what now?"
I went with your tip of adding a couple of functions to make the process cleaner.
Had I left it with all of the forward, penup, pendown functions littered throughout
it would have been way bulkier. I was feeling satisfied overall because I was able to
track myself through the letter without too much of an issue. My 4 letters will spell
'DUCK' though so I might change my tune when I get to the 'K'
