turtleart

install

  pip install turtleart

run

Main way to use turtleart right away is with the qturtle CLI command. Once installed, just run:

  qturtle

have fun

Running qturtle creates a screen and graph lines and your own turtle, named whatever you'd like. At this point you can use methods defined in the Turtle Class and in turtleart.draw module.

example with standard commands

• Note that we actually name the turtle variable based on user input. Some inputs won't work, but it's cute.
