Let's play around with your new copy of the Noughts & Crosses project by typing commands in the Command Centre, learning as we go.     Recall that we have nine turtles - you can see them all by typing everyone [setshape "cross]     There is always a "current turtle", the one we are currently talking to. You can find out which by typing show who. Note that if you click on a turtle, it becomes the current turtle. We can find out the current turtle's shape thus: show shape.     So every turtle has a property called shape. But we need each turtle to have a value also: 0 for blank, 1 for nought and 4 for cross. Well, we can give every turtle a new value property: turtlesown "value - it's that easy! Now we can try commands like: setvalue 1 or show value or t7, show value or everyone [setvalue 0] or everyone [show value] or make "v1 value.     We can now write the do_cross and do_nought procedures. We can also add a line to the clear and ox procedures. Try before moving on.
