Draw a tower of a castle.

A tower of a castle has a battlement. The battlement has a number of merlons, the solid upright low wall sections. The space between the merlons is called a crenel. A series of merlons and crenels is called a crenellation. Merlons were used in medieval fortifications to protect the defenders from enemy fire and to allow them to launch projectiles from behind the cover.

⭐⭐⭐

Make

Write a program to draw a single tower with a variable number of merlons.

Success Criteria

Remember to add a comment before a subprogram, condition or iteration to explain its purpose.

Complete the subprogram called draw_tower that:

  1. Draws a tower using the parameter merlons to determine the number of merlons that should be drawn.
    • The number of crenels is always one less than the number of merlons.
    • The width of a crenel is 20 pixels.

Complete the subprogram called draw_merlon that:

  1. Draws one merlon and can be used repeatedly by the draw_tower subprogram.
    • The height and width of a merlon is 20 pixels.

Typical inputs and outputs from the program would be:

draw_tower(4)

4 merlon tower

Restricted automated feedback

Automated feedback for this assignment is still under construction. Submitted programs are checked for syntax errors and their source code is checked for potential errors, bugs, stylistic issues, and suspicious constructs. However, no checks are performed yet to see if the program correctly implements the behaviour specified in the assignment.
