enable simple left() and right() turns #12

Closed bauman closed 5 years ago

Bringing the idea of specific degrees brings complexity to a topic that need not be complicated.

This introduces commands to allow simple left() and right() commands that will turn 90 degrees in either direction without needing to discuss degrees.

Students have an innate understanding of the meaning of left and right.

Change allows the students to introduce movement using left and right and slowly introduce the concept of degrees.
