# Drawing a checkerboard with turtle

# For this one I determine the size of the screen by first realizing I want
# to break it up into an 8x8 grid of a given size square cell.
#cellSize=70
numRows=8
numCols=8
width = 600
height=width
cellSize = width/numRows

# Compute the overall width and height.
#width=cellSize*numCols
#height = cellSize*numRows

# To make things easier, you can use my utility methods to get a turtle and screen.
# It will make it much easier to get the exact size screen you want with no extra
# space anywhere you don't want it. For some reason the default turtle stuff is
# flaky, and it seems to be impossible to get things to work exactly like you want
# without going through a lot of effort, which is why I did it for you.
