Morton -

I'm with James here. The spirit of the quiz is the display the output in 
any way you see fit. I wrote the quiz based on ASCII output as it would 
allow those who didn't want to use any external libraries or tools the 
opportunity to participate. I wrote my solution based on the ASCII, but 
I would be excited to see you solve it using the turtle solution. In 
short, I say use whatever tool you feel provides the best solution!
