Turtles and Stuff Like That

Turtles are the stars of the show right now in comp sci, and that's not cool. Besides being deathly slow, turtles are pretty ugly. More importantly, it's frustrating. We are given this directory with the turtle object and a set of methods to act upon it and I have no idea how it works. Until now, we've been building everything from the ground up, and being affronted with so much information is something I'm not used to. I hope that in the future, this will get easier to understand, but I realize that I have a long way to go in learning how to program in Java, and that's just even more encouragement.
