Here is my design https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/162459825/

 

 

You don't have to copy any of these designs they are just there for your inspiration.

When working in a complex design it's a good idea to break it down into simpler parts

Don't try to write all the instructions at once.

Break it into parts. Each part is drawn in order.

 

 

I started with the outside circle

Notice that each move is 3 steps for the outer circle.

 

Then I added the inner circle

Notice that each move is 2.5 steps, which is less than the first circle

 

This is just part of a large circle. It stars in the middle at (0,0)

It's made of 50 moves, each move is 3.5 steps.

 

The next part is very similar to part 3. All I did different was change the

direction I turned from clockwise to anticlockwise.

 

Part 5 is like part 3, only it starts at the middle and steps backwards

-3.5 each move.

Part 6 is like part 5, but the circle is drawing backwards counter-clockwise

 

After 17 parts I was finished.
