# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# LEVEL UP! Try one (or more) of these upgrades:
# 1. Change `sides` to draw triangles, pentagons, or stars.
# 2. Add turtle.speed() control from user input (ask the player how fast).
# 3. Make the size grow or shrink each loop (size = size + 2).
# 4. Add random colors using: import random / random.choice(colors)
# 5. Draw your name or initials using turtle.write() somewhere on screen.
# 6. Ask your AI tool: "How do I make this turtle drawing react to
#    keyboard arrow keys?" and try adding that.
