Study Notes

  • The Python turtle library allows you to create pictures and shapes by providing you with a virtual canvas.

  • The turtle has certain changeable characteristics, like size, color, and speed.

  • You can initialize the turtle by giving it a name, like t.

  • You can use the turtle to move around the screen.

  • The turtle has a window called the screen, where you can view the output of your code.

  • The turtle has a black triangular shape called the turtle, which you can use to move around the screen.

  • The turtle can move in four directions: forward, backward, left, and right.

  • To move the turtle in a specific direction, use the .forward() or .backward() command.

  • You can also use the shortened versions t.rt() and t.fd().

  • To draw a line from your current position to any other arbitrary position on the screen, use the coordinates .goto().

  • To move the turtle back to its home position, type the .return() command.

  • The Python turtle library provides a way to move the turtle around and make shapes.

  • You can increase or decrease the size of the onscreen turtle to make it bigger or smaller.

  • You can change the color of the turtle, the color of the pen, and the fill color.

  • You can fill in an image with color.

  • Coloring in an image usually makes it look better.

  • To clear the screen, type in the command "screen.clear()".

  • This command will clean up your screen, and your variables will not change.

  • If you have other turtles on the screen, then their drawings will not be cleared out unless you specifically call them out in your code.
