+A minimal 'Towers of Hanoi' animation:
+A tower of 6 discs is transferred from the
+left to the right peg.
+
+An imho quite elegant and concise
+implementation using a tower class, which
+is derived from the built-in type list.
+
+Discs are turtles with shape "square", but
+stretched to rectangles by shapesize()
+ ---------------------------------------
+       To exit press STOP button
