Turtle Module
• turtle.Turtle is the python module in python
that works like a drawing board.
• Do not give the file name to turtle.py

import turtle
turtle.Turtle()

Hein Thu Aung


Steps
• turtle.forward(steps) function makes the
turtle move.
• Steps are measured in pixels.

import turtle
turtle.Turtle() [not working
in web version]
turtle.forward(100)

Hein Thu Aung


Speed
turtle.speed() – turtle’s speed lies in the range 1-
10.
• 0 is the fastest. 1 is slowest.
import turtle
turtle.Turtle() [not working in web version]
turtle.speed(1)
turtle.forward(100)

• Try turtle moving in backward direction.

Hein Thu Aung


Naming Turtle
• Let’s give a name to turtle.
• After giving name, you can use name for turtle
function.

import turtle
Try name.fd and name.bk
name = turtle.Turtle()
in place of name.forward
name.speed(1)
and name.backward.
name.forward(100)

Hein Thu Aung


Changing Direction
turtle.direction(degree) changes the direction of
the turtle.
• The turtle always face to right at the start.

import turtle
name = turtle.Turtle() Move the turtle for 100
name.speed(1) pixels, turn left and move
name.forward(100) again for 100 pixels.
name.right(90)

Hein Thu Aung


Exercise
• Using loop, draw a square in turtle module.
• Draw a circle. [Hint: Distance should be 1]

Instead of right and left, try rt and lt.

• Draw pentagon, hexagon and decagon using


turtle module.
• Draw a pentacle (star-shape).

Hein Thu Aung


Preset Shapes
There are some preset shapes you can use in
Python.

import turtle import turtle


name = turtle.Turtle() name = turtle.Turtle()
name.circle(radius) name.dot(radius)

Try turtle.done() at the end of the code.

Getting Screen & Changing Background
• Sometimes, you need to get a screen to create turtle project.
• screen_name = turtle.getscreen() lets you open a new window.
• turtle.bgcolor(“color name”) changes the color of the screen instead of
white.
• Try “blue”, “green”, “yellow”, “red” or different colors.
• This might not work in web versions.

import turtle
import turtle
screen_name = turtle.getscreen()
screen_name = turtle.getscreen()
turtle.bgcolor(“blue”)
name = turtle.Turtle()
name = turtle.Turtle()

Hein Thu Aung


Coordinates
• The center of the screen is noted as (0, 0).
• All the coordinates are noted in (x, y) fashion.
• name.goto(x, y) makes your turtle to the
location of coordinates x and y.

import turtle
name = turtle.Turtle()
name.goto(100, 100)
name.goto(100, -100) Try name.home()
name.goto(-100, -100)
name.goto(-100, 100)

Hein Thu Aung


Pen
• Python uses pen to draw things on screen.
• Pen size can be changed by using
name.pensize(size).

import turtle
name = turtle.Turtle()
name.pensize(5) Try name.pencolor(“green”)
name.speed(1)
name.forward(100)

Hein Thu Aung


Up & Down
• Sometimes we need to move the turtle without drawing
anything.
• penup is used to stop drawing on screen like moving up pen
on a paper without touching the paper.
• pendown is used to draw again on screen.

import turtle
name = turtle.Turtle()
name.penup()
Draw an “X” on the screen.
name.goto(100, 100)
name.pendown()
name.goto(-100, -100)
