home

Built-ins

Canonical ID: turtle.home. Nederlands: thuis.

Returns the turtle to the scene center and restores its upward heading. It preserves pen state and draws the return movement when the pen is down. For a clean reposition, use penUp, home, then penDown. It does not erase prior paths.

Signature

home()

Arguments

This call takes no arguments. Always write the parentheses.

Example

# language: en
forward(80)
right(90)
forward(40)
penUp()
home()
penDown()
forward(30)

Returns without drawing a connecting line, then draws upward from the center.

Notes and common mistakes

Use the function name for your source language. Its canonical ID is a shared documentation label; you do not type that ID as a call. Giving your own variable or function the same name can hide the built-in. Supply the documented arguments and value types. Pliro reports mismatches when checking can detect them, or when the call runs.

A host is the app or environment running your program. To see a drawing, it needs a renderer, the part that draws on screen. The command-line command pliro run shows text but does not draw these graphics. The host support table explains which effects work in the IDE, browser, native app, and phone preview. A native build reports an unsupported capability instead of leaving it out.

The initial turtle is centered, facing up, with its pen down. State can persist between explicit IDE runs; Reset Scene restores it. Portable compositing with immediate scene graphics is not yet specified, so use a consistent drawing mode when comparing hosts.
