This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong.

For this activity, we will be sharing our code on the [[https://trinket.io/|trinket.io]] platform, which is a website similar to [[https://glowscript.org/|glowscript.org]] for running and editing Glowscript programs. You may choose to copy and paste the code from trinket into a new Glowscript program, or you can try out trinket for this activity. Both websites are useful, and they offer different affordances and constraints.

===== Snowman Activity: Making and Placing Shapes in Glowscript =====

**Follow this link for the activity: [[https://trinket.io/glowscript/6d826242b4|link]]**

You should see something that looks like this:

In the first few lines of code, there is some green text is marked with a # character. These are called "comments". The computer can't see them, but you can create comments to help with readability when you share code with other people. Read the comments in lines 3-9 and try following their instructions to start getting comfortable using glowscript.

Try working on your coding chops by creating a collection of shapes. We suggest taking your mind off the summer heat by making a snowman, like the one below:
