gollark: Just replace `turnleft` and such with `turtle.turnLeft()`.
gollark: Oh, and the problem is that you have a lot of lines like `turnleft` which aren't actually doing anything and are invalid syntax.
gollark: Why do you have that bit anyway? Why not call `turtle.forward` directly when you're using it?
gollark: That calls the function and sets `go` to whatever it returns.
gollark: If you don't add the brackets, you are not calling it and getting the return value, you're just getting the actual function itself.
