 Function turtle.forward | |
| Attempts to move the turtle forward. | |
| Syntax | turtle.forward() |
| Returns | boolean whether the turtle succeeded in moving forward |

| Example | |
| Tries to move the turtle forward a number of times. The times to move forward is specified by the user. | |
| Code |
local distance = ... -- gets the first argument from the user if distance ~= nil then distance = tonumber (distance) -- make it a number for i = 1, distance do turtle.forward() end else print ("Did not specify distance.") end |
| Output | Either the turtle moving the specified amount of times or missing parameter. |
