For this task, we want you to review concepts covered in the first part of the class, like loops, functions, and conditionals, giving you space to design your own code that uses these constructs. Back at the start of the class you did either a custom scene or a custom song a way of learning about Python basics; now you will have a chance to make something more complex, using what you've learned so far. This task focuses on turtle and turtlBeads drawing, while you could instead do the wavesynthTune2 task which focuses on audio.

The requirements are again simple, with no restrictions on what you draw: the only rules are that you must make use of certain Python statements.

To start, you need to create a new file, named scene2.py. This file must be in a folder where turtleBeads.py is also present. Download the starter code, unzip it, and then create your scene2.py file in that folder.

Your scene2.py file must satisfy the following criteria:

1. Your file must start with the usual docstring with authorship information. Here's a template you can copy and paste:

   """
   Authors: Anon & Ymous
   Consulted: T. A.
   Date: 2023-10-31
   Purpose: Turtle Scene task version 2
   """
   

2. Your file will have to import the turtle and turtleBeads modules.

3. Your file must include a nested loop, which can be any combination of for and/or while loops as long as they're directly inside each other. Inside the inner loop of this nested loop, you must call a custom function called drawOne.
4. Your drawOne function must accept at least two parameters.
5. Your drawOne function must contain at least one if/else statement.
6. Your drawOne function must call at least one of the following functions:
   • forward (a.k.a. fd)
   • backward (a.k.a. bk or back)
   • drawDot
   • drawCircle
   • drawEllipse
   • drawSquare
   • drawRectangle
   • drawPolygon
   • drawText
7. You must vary the thickness and colors of some lines, using both pensize and either pencolor or color (pen functions reference).
8. You must use begin_fill and end_fill to draw at least one filled-in shape, and you must use fillcolor (or color)) to control its color (fill reference; see also the example on filling).
9. You must use penup and pendown to move the turtle without drawing a line (or you may use the one or more of the teleport, leap, or hop functions from turtleBeads to achieve the same thing).
10. You must use the title function to assign a title to your graphics window (title reference).

You are welcome to use other turtle or turtleBeads features in addition to the ones listed above, but only the above features are required.

Note: to speed up the drawing when things get complex, you can use the noTrace and showPicture functions. You can read how they work in our turtle documentation.

After completing this task, you must take a screenshot of your graphics scene, name it correctly, and upload it to the shared google drive folder as explained in the submission instructions.
