Creating Turtles 🐢
Do Now
1. How many lines of code? 4 6 8 5
2. What is around the word turtle on line 5? ( ; " *
3. Which on is a colon? : ; . <
4. On which lines was the TAB key used?
5. How can you change the shape from turtle to circle in line 5?
import turtle
def task1():
tina = turtle.Turtle()
tina.shape("turtle")
task1()
💻
execute
I do 👀👂
Don't worry about lines 1-3
Functions are a group of instructions
At line 5 we define a function called task1()
Every indented 🫸 instruction is part of task1()
Try running the program... What happens?
We do 🙌
1. Call 📱 task1() on line 9
2. Change the shape of tina to a square or to a circle.
3. What happens if you try calling task2() instead?
I do👀👂
We create a 🐢 variable called tina on line 6.
tina has a function called shape()
tina has a function called goto() which moves her to given coordinates. Let's try it!
We do 🙌
1. Make tina draw this:
