Open RoboMind. Open the map "openAreaOneSquare.map". Zoom out.
This Lab DOES NOT USE Remote Control! Use Edit and Insert
Paint a white square that connects the white dots. Start with Insert and Paint white

Move forward. Use Insert and forward(1) and right

paintWhite

Run the program.

Now try the program with forward(6)

paintWhite
forward(6)

forward(6)

stopPainting

Now try with a repeat(4):

paintWhite
repeat(4) {
	forward(6)
	right
}
stopPainting
repeat(4) {
    forward(4)    
    right
}
stopPainting

Draw a black square inside the white square
Draw another black square around the white square

Do a similar program in Kojo. The large blue square has side=100.

Here's the beginning of a Kojo program:

clear
setPenColor(blue)
repeat(4){
    forward(100)
    right
}
penUp()
forward(10)
right
forward(10)
left
penDown
setPenColor(red)
repeat(4){
    . . .
 }
