6.9. Chapter Exercises¶
Design your own drawing using turtle graphics. You should use multiple colors, and your design must be complicated enough to features multiple procedures, including at least one procedure that calls other procedures you have written.
Here are some ideas:
The current year number as block-style digits on a colored background.
A multicolor flag on a flagpole.
A few trees and a sun shining on them.
A snowman with three part body and two arms.
Remember that although we can’t make curves, you can draw circles by setting a large pensize
and then doing forward(0) to make a colored dot.
Use this space to describe the procedures you will write. Like in my design, don’t worry about writing code yet, just describe the parts of the task. Try to make sure that each one is simple enough to do in about ~10 lines of code. If it sounds more complex than that, break it down further and design procedures that will do the various sub-problems.
Before you keep reading...
Making great stuff takes time and $$. If you appreciate the book you are reading now and want to keep quality materials free for other students please consider a donation to Runestone Academy. We ask that you consider a $10 donation, but if you can give more thats great, if $10 is too much for your budget we would be happy with whatever you can afford as a show of support.
Now use this space to implement your program.
Write one procedure at a time and test as you go!
