In a bout of "why can't graphics be easy like it was on my BBC", I  
proposed as ASCII art Turtle graphics ruby quiz :) I knocked up a  
quick implementation (invoking code reuse (woo!) of some bits I had  
left over from the earlier dungeon quiz), but the graphics were so  
cheesy, I didn't want to inflict them on the community.
