 You can also use the Turtle, just like Hackety-Hack does
 
-    Turtle.start do
-      background yellow
-      pencolor brown
-      pensize 2
-      goto 30, 200
-      setheading 180
-      1000.times do
-        forward 20
-        turnleft rand(10)
-        backward 10
-      end
-    end
+``` ruby
+Turtle.start do

+    backward 10
+  end
+end
