Apparently Bluesky's video compression is worse than X's now! Shame.

I used orbit and anchor to draw the heart, this made it easy to vary the size since all I had to do was vary the distance I pulled out from the anchor point. beginfill / endfill fills in the heart shape. I used settypefont and typeset to create the message. Rolling the turtle makes the heart turn

working on a game in turtleSpaces Logo, it's a single threaded render loop with no agents, just the single turtle drawing everything each frame. Each frame the random number generator resets, and I lean on sin a lot! #gamedev #creativecoding
