I am using the subclass FlowerTurtle of Turtle

Since there's no Turtle class in the standard JDK, you might want to ask wherever you got that class.

So I also need help with Graphics with a Turtle.java...
I'm very lost on how to start off this particular piece of code because I am supposed to create a radial figure of 360 lines. The line starts at the middle of where the little turtle is and will go out x amount of pixels I would set it to and go back to the middle until it's reached a full 360 circle. Something I have no idea on how to do is how to get the full rainbow of colors in this circle (red - purple) with varying shades of each color depending on the angle that the turtle is facing...a code that I was given to help with figuring this out said that the line drawn at angle, ang, has the HSB/HSV color of (ang / 360, 1, 1)
...I am very lost and any notes or links to documents that can potentially help me will be greatly appreciated!

1. Don't wake the zombies. Get your own thread -- they're free.
2. Seeing as you found this thread, how come you didn't bother to read #3?
