# footprints2

Drive a turtle with `["forward", length]` or `["turn", angle]`. This function is intended to use a turtle to imitate freehand drawing. 

**Since:** 2.4

## Parameters

- `cmds` : A list of `["forward", length]`s and `["turn", angle]`s.
- `start` : Set the start point of the turtle. Default to `[0, 0]`.

## Examples
	    
	use <polyline_join.scad>;
	use <turtle/footprints2.scad>;
	
	function arc_cmds(radius, angle, steps) = 
		let(
			fa = angle / steps,
			ta = fa / 2,
			leng = sin(ta) * radius * 2
		)
        [
            ["turn", ta],
            each [
				for(i = [0:steps - 2])
				each [["forward", leng], ["turn", fa]]
			],
            ["forward", leng], 
            ["turn", ta]
        ];
		
	poly = footprints2(
        [
            ["forward", 10],
		    ["turn", 90],
			["forward", 10],
            each arc_cmds(5, 180, 12),
            ["turn", -90],
            ["forward", 10],
            ["turn", 90],
            ["forward", 10],
            ["turn", 90],
            ["forward", 10]
        ]
	);

	polyline_join(poly)
	    circle(.5);
