You are never too old for turtle... Recommended values are 8 for depth and 100 for length. This is just a simple script to show how recursion can be used for drawings. Feel free to edit angles and shapes for your own use.

Brute-force prime number generator. Starting with two known beginning prime numbers, more can be generated indefinitely.

Generates and prints prime numbers after 2 until
you kill the program with Ctrl + C
Works by checking to see if a number is divisible by any other number in
the list of prime numbers. If not, it is prime and added to the list of
prime numbers to check future numbers against.
