 .  Look for it on your Desktop and rename it with your name (For example it might be called ''Screen Shot 2022-08-27 at 8.47.53 AM.png'' and if your name was Bob Smith, you might rename it ''BobS.png''
+======Step 5======
 .  Next you are to use these commands to make a .kwld text file.  Here is an example That Describes BobS.png:
-<code>

+ Try removing or changing a wall in the BobS.txt file to get a feel of how the code changes the KarelWorld drawn by the ShowWorld main method.
-For those who are used to the placeEWWall or placeNSWall methods:
+======Step 6 ======
-<code World.java>
+. Now it is your turn.  Make a new text file (or rename "BobS.txt" to your first anme and last initial, ending with ".txt").  Start with your first wall.  See the result with ShowWorld.java, and fix it if necessary, Try the next wall.
+When you are done, place 2 beepers in the best locations for the longest run for a MazeRunner robot.
+=== For those will experience with placeEWWall and placeNEWall ===
+For those who are used to the [[http://csis.pace.edu/%7Ebergin/KarelJava2ed/KJRdocs/index.html|placeEWWall or placeNSWall]] methods, there is a difference that you may find confusing with the parameters.  For ''eastwestwalls'' the three numbers are (street the wall goes on) (starting on avenue) (ending on ave).  For the ''northsouthwalls'': the three numbers are (Avenue the wal goes on) (Starting street) (Ending Street).  If you already coding it with place walls you can convert it with this:
+<code java World.java>
