Python Turtle Library Basics

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.
