CHALLENGE 1 | USE A FOR LOOP TO DRAW SQUARE

Use the turtle module (or equivalent) to:
1: Draw a square
2: Use 1 FOR loop to complete this task

CHALLENGE 2 | USE A FOR LOOP TO DRAW A STAR

Use the turtle module (or equivalent) to:
1: Draw a star like the on in the picture below
2: Try to do this using 1 FOR loop
3: Fill the star with a colour of your choice

CHALLENGE 3 | USE A WHOLE LOOP TO DRAW A DANCING LINE

Using Python and the Turtle graphics library, create a program that draws a continuous, dynamic pattern that appears to be "dancing" on the screen. Your program should use loops and make use of Turtle's various drawing and movement functions, such as forward, backward, right, and left. Experiment with different angles, lengths, and loop iterations to create an interesting and visually appealing pattern. Bonus points if you can incorporate colour changes or other visual enhancements to make the pattern more engaging.

CHALLENGE 4 | USE FUNCTIONS AND DRAW A SNOWFLAKE

Using Python and the Turtle graphics library (or equivalent) create:
1: A program that draws a Koch snowflake on the screen.
2: The Koch snowflake is a fractal curve, and for this challenge, you should draw a snowflake with three iterations.
3: Each side of the initial equilateral triangle should be 100 units in length.
4: Use loops to avoid repetitive code and make your solution more efficient.

CHALLENGE 5 | CREATE A LANDSCAPE DRAWING

The image below was made using Python Turtle
1: Create your own landscape image
2: Demonstrate good use of loops within your code
Extension task:
Add random elements to your drawing so it does not draw the same each time you run the program.

CHALLENGE 6 | DRAW THE FIBONACCI SQUARES

The fibonacci sequence of numbers can be used to produce the Fibonacci spiral.

Use the turtle module (or equivalent) to:
1: Create the Fibonacci squares to the X number
2: Create the spiral with in the squares
3: When you have create the squares and spiral add some colour and be creative

CHALLENGE 7 | CREATE A RETRO IMAGE

The video below shows an image created around the theme of 8 bit retro.
1: Create your own 8 bit image
2: The image should be made up of a sequence of squares
3: You should demonstrate good use of loops and functions
TIP: Google 8 bit images and get some idea's
