because of every for every turn we need to make angle between edges equal to 36. If you will have a look to pentagon definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon inner angle is equal to 108. from that you can easily calculate the angle between edges of star. there is no difference between these 2: alex.left(216) alex.right(144) change left() to right() and see. /Asaf -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
