6.7. Program Implementation - Final¶

Now that we have all the building blocks, lets give a name to the lines of code that do the work of drawing the house.

The instructions to goto particular locations and drawWall, drawDoor, etc… have all been moved into a procedure to make it more clear what the overall goal of the instructions is. But, we have not given that procedure a name. Chose a name for the procedure that draws the whole house and replace the _____________ below with your name. Make sure to replace it in both the procedure definition and the procedure call.

Name the procedure that draws the house.

def rectangle(turtle, width, height):
    # Assumes turtle faces East to start with
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.forward(width)
    turtle.right(90)
    turtle.forward(height)
    turtle.right(90)
    turtle.forward(width)
    turtle.right(90)
    turtle.forward(height)
    turtle.right(90)
    turtle.end_fill()
    turtle.penup()

def drawWall(turtleName):
    turtleName.fillcolor("tan")
    rectangle(turtleName, 300, 200)

def drawDoor(turtleName):
    turtleName.fillcolor("black")
    rectangle(turtleName, 50, 100)

steve.penup()
_____________(steve)      # call your procedure
