Processing limit to using Python with Turtle?

Is there a processing limit to using Python with Turtle?

All I'm doing is drawing shapes and rotating, and drawing again to make patterns. see https://repl.it/@snowdena/turtle-patterns

pat(32) works, but anything above 32 causes the code to hang part way through the loop with the turtle spinning on the spot.

I have the same issue with a number of python turtle scripts. They all work up to a limit, then hang with the spinning turtle.

Note: the code works find in Python 3.6.6 on my pc.

Any ideas?

thanks

@snowdena try pat(36)

I use Chrome on a Windows 10 laptop.
Just tested in different browsers, it works in both Edge and Internet Explorer.

Tried a Windows 7 desktop - works in IE but not Chrome

Appears to be a problem with Chrome.

Thanks for the help.

Your code already had it set up for pat(33)
When I ran it, the program completed just fine

I did something similar but a lot more random, so I just thought it was some glitch that happens if some specific angles and lines get picked, but it might be the same problem you're having.

If you run that code a lot, eventually you'll get something that works, but most of the time it just breaks, I haven't tried running it on a local Python IDLE but I'll put the results here when I do.
