MOVE

Syntax: MOVE [#ch,] distance
Location: QL ROM

This command is for turtle graphics.

When a window is first opened, an invisible turtle appears at the graphics origin (altered with SCALE) facing to the right, with its pen in the up position.

The command MOVE forces the turtle in the specified window (default #1) to move in the current direction by the specified  distance. The actual distance moved on screen depends on the current SCALE applicable to that window. If distance is negative, the turtle will move backwards.

MOVE always works from the current graphics cursor position, and after using this command, the current graphics cursor is placed at the turtle's position on screen.

MOVE is affected by the current INK colour, FILL and also OVER, just like any other graphics command.

CROSS-REFERENCE:
PENDOWN forces the pen into the down position, leaving a trail on screen.  
PENUP allows the turtle to move without leaving a trail. 
TURN and TURNTO allow you to alter the direction of the turtle.
