Topic: Redwood lumberjack code help
Hello all!
I am new to programming and quite happy with how far I got, but cannot get my turtle to stop when there is no more tree left.
Program Goal:
1. Have user state how wide a Redwood is.
2. Chop down said tree, refueling along the way and dumping contents into an ender chest
3. Stop when done.
Problem:
Turtle is not stopping when there is no more tree. This started after adding adding code at line 77, i think i have it wrong to tell how many loops to make. Was hoping to have it take 1/2 the number input by the user.
Again, I have never programmed before writing this code, would love to know why the turtle keeps moving and how I can fix it.
Thank you for your help and support!
