Moving around in PYTHON using "Turtle."

We'll be using the Python programming language in the future to control a robot.
To get used to using python, there is a wonderful feature called "Turtle." whicj will let us move a virtual turtle on the screen.
Later, we'll move our robot in a similar way!
Welcome to PYTHON programming!

Visit this link to try out today's turtle code on line!

Click Here for a fun program to modify.

The code for both programs is below:

Simple drawing commands demo:

import turtle

t = turtle.Turtle()

t.color('brown')

# Move up

t.penup()

t.left(90)

t.forward(50)

t.pendown()

# Draw a triangle manually

t.right(30)

t.forward(50)

t.right(120)

t.forward(50)

t.right(120)

t.forward(50)

# Move left

t.penup()

t.forward(50)

t.pendown()

# Draw a square

for i in xrange(4):

    t.forward(50)

    t.left(90)

# add the code to move your turtle through the maze

import turtle

t = turtle.Turtle()

t.color('brown')

# draw maze

t.right(90)

t.forward(250)

t.right(90)

t.forward(250)

t.right(90)

t.forward(450)

t.right(90)

t.forward(250)

t.right(90)

t.forward(50)

t.right(90)

t.forward(150)

t.left(90)

t.forward(250)

# move turtle outside maze

t.penup()

t.backward(170)

t.left(90)

t.forward(160)

t.pendown()

# Draw a square

#for i in xrange(4):

#    t.forward(50)

#    t.left(90)
