It gets called from the #makePolygons script with the default value 5 but you can change it and make different polygons easily.

Thanks, Ricardo, that is helpful.
But in Yoshikis’ Turtle Geometry project, how does the “number” become assigned in the first place? Where does the parameter get a value?

Parameters are a nice way of defining a variable local to the script. Adding a parameter to a script makes the script a little different in the sense that it doesn't tick anymore but it has to be manually called from another script (providing a value for the parameter). It's a very useful mechanism and a good example could be the #polygon: script in the "Turtle Geometry" project.
Cheers,
Richo

OK, so I found the reference to parameters in the Floss manual, but I don't understand it. Can someone help out?
Thanks!
