Instead of saying that I want all of my dots to be all squares, I have managed to tell Thonny that I want this specific dot to be a square and for each dot I have to request a specific shape. So if I want 2 of my dots to show up, I type "square", it places a square, then I have to type "square" and it places the second square.
I tried putting my call to function outside of the loop, but I need my x and y variable to be put into the call function so the error says "variable referenced before assignment", and then I tried putting it inside of it's own loop, but then it just make the same point on an infinite loop....
So how do I get thonny to ask what shape I want for all of the dots while still allowing my individual dots to be created in a different function?
