I need to take where the computer has randomly places three points in my turtle graphic and calculate the total score. I have no idea how to do this. Please help if you can! Its really hard to explain it, but if anyone has the slightest idea please let me know. Thanks!

Lets say your board of 3 rows and 4 columns has points thusly:

2 4 6 5
1 2 1 7
3 4 5 8

You could represent it in python like so

board = [[2,4,6,5],[1,2,1,7],[3,4,5,8]]

And you can get to the 7 with the expression:  board[1][3]

(Remember in programming we usually count from 0 not 1)

Does this help any?
