Help page 4 contains code examples that may need to be updated in order to promote common practice in Python programming.

Specifically, the for loop should use an "anonymous" count variable instead of i, e.g.

for _ in range(36):
    for _ in range(36):
        go(10)
        turn(10)
    turn(10)

Are the images available in a source code or editable image format, or just as pixel graphics?

   Unfortunately the images are available just as pixel graphics. That's a very bad practice on my part. Or to be more precise, on 2009 Ram's part ;)

   I disagree with your note about using underscores as the loop variable. I barely think it's important in production code, so in my opinion it's not remotely close to being important for the first loop that a complete beginner is writing.

   If you'd be interested in improving or adding to the help pages, that'd be cool, but I haven't even built the installer for PythonTurtle in many years. So the first step before making any changes or additions would be to get a reliable build process going. I'm not going to do any of that, so unless you volunteer to do that, it's not likely that PythonTurtle could get stuff added to it. Sorry to be a downer.
