I'm creating a function that will cause a giraffe to move in a certain direction and distance (don't ask). 
If the user types "west" in the parameters, the turtle should move west however the direction is. But the turtle's angle changes every time, I can't fix a value for my turtle to turn to go a certain direction.
I need to set the angle to, say, 90 so that it can move East. I can't find useful functions for this purpose. I tried to use Pen().degrees(90) but that didn't work. Does anyone know how I can do this?
turtle.right(90)
this will turn the turtle 90
