Notes

This project uses two sliders on the project page and in the procedure. It uses 4 shapes to make it appear that the character is doing somersaults as it moves across the page.

Copy your first character shape into three new shapes.
Open each new shape and rotate it.

Rotate the first new shape so the character's head points to the right.   Name the shape irma3.

Rotate the second new shape so the character's head points down.   Name the shape irma4.

Rotate the third new shape so the character's head points to the left.   Name the shape irma5.

(If you use different shape names, then be sure to use the same names in the dance procedure.)
Each line of the cartwheel procedure tells the turtle to change its shape, move forward the amount on the howfar? slider, and wait 10 minus the amount on the howfast? slider.
Make a button named cartwheel and set it to many times. Try it with different settings on the sliders.

What If?
What happens if you set the howfast? slider to a high number and the howfar? slider to a low number?
What happens if you set the howfast? slider to a low number and the howfar? slider to a high number?

Challenge
Can you add more shapes into your shapes center and your procedure to change the animation?
