It’s easy to get lost in the sea of Python tutorials. Countless pages offer an easy start and explain with Hello World examples how beginners can output a text in the console. That in itself is a good start, but often very dry. Python Turtle makes it easy for users to understand what the code they just entered is doing.
Python Turtle is a built-in library in Python that novice programmers can use
create simple drawings on the screen. The user controls an arrow that can be imagined as a turtle – hence the name Turtle. But with a line of code, the arrow also gets the outline of a turtle. The user can move them forward, rotate them, use them to draw colored lines and much more. With every change to the code, you can immediately see what the turtle in the window is doing differently. In this way, comprehensible actions are created from the abstract lines of code.
We show how Python Turtle can be used by beginners to learn what libraries are and how to include their functions in the program. We also explain it
Dot operator, how to feed methods with parameters and how to deal with variables. Finally, we explain how for– and while-Loops work. With them, the user can later draw complex patterns in just a few lines of code in the window.
