Preface

This module is one in a collection of modules on Python designed for teaching ITSE 1359 Introduction to Scripting Languages: Python at Austin Community College in Austin, TX. This module concentrates on programming using Python's Turtle graphics module.

Discussion

Now that you know something about classes and objects, it's time to gain some insight into what can be done with them. I know of no better way togain that insight than through the use of Python's Turtle graphics . Rather than trying to explain Turtle graphics myself, I am going to refer you toseveral online resources that explain the topic much better than I am equipped to do.

First, I recommend that you begin with the Hello Little Turtles! chapter of the online interactive book titled How to Think Like a Computer Scientist - Learning with Python: Interactive Edition 2.0 . Be sure to watch the video . To get a quick idea of the capability offered by turtles, go to this page and press the Run button below the image of the spirals.

In parallel with that, I recommend that you also study the non-interactive version of the chapter titled Hello, little turtles! in the non-interactive version of the book titled How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python 3 . Each version has advantages and disadvantages over the other.

If you Google "python turtle graphics", you will likely find dozens of resources. Here are a few of them:
