k = 0
for i in range(1, 17):
    y = 30*i
    for j in range(i-k):
        x = 30*j
        square.goto(x,-y+280)
        square.stamp()
        square.goto(-x,-y+280)
        square.stamp()

    if i % 4 == 0:
        x =  30*(j+1)
        circle.color('red')
        circle.goto(-x,-y+280)
        circle.stamp()
        circle.goto(x,-y+280)
