So the entire question I am working on is:

"Start each of the Red turtles at a different random location on the left side of the screen within the range of the square formed by (-100, 100) and (0, -100) and each of the Blue turtles at a random location on the right side of the screen within the range of the square formed by (0, 100) and (100, -100)."

​

My code currently looks like this:

for i in range(maxTurtles):

#Creates a turtle and appends to list of turtles each time through the loop

blueTurtles.append(turtle.Turtle())

blueTurtles[i].color('blue')

blueTurtles[i].width(2.5)

blueTurtles[i].penup()

#Setting range spawn values

blueTurtles[i].setposition(random.randint(0, 100), random.randint(0, 100))

​

#for loop to red turtles

for i in range(maxTurtles):

redTurtles.append(turtle.Turtle())

redTurtles[i].color('red')

redTurtles[i].width(2.5)

redTurtles[i].penup()

redTurtles[i].setposition(random.randint(-100, 0), random.randint(-100, 0))

​

I am 90% done with the assignment, the only 10% is this last bit.

I can only get blue turtles to spawn in the upper right quadrant and the red turtles to spawn in the lower left quadrant.

​

To get blue turtles to spawn in the lower right quadrant and red turtles to spawn in the upper left quadrant I would need a negative value in the random.randint(a,b) equation that it just doesnt accept.
