Turtle Movements and Control Moving the turtle forward and backward. Turning the turtle left and right. Controlling turtle speed.
To control the movements and speed of the turtle in Python using the turtle module, you can use the following functions:
Moving the turtle forward and backward:
turtle.forward(distance): Moves the turtle forward by the specified distance.
turtle.backward(distance): Moves the turtle backward by the specified distance.
Turning the turtle left and right:
turtle.left(angle): Turns the turtle left by the specified angle in degrees.
turtle.right(angle): Turns the turtle right by the specified angle in degrees.
Controlling turtle speed:
turtle.speed(speed): Sets the turtle's speed. The speed can be an integer from 0 to 10, or one of the strings "fastest", "fast", "normal", "slow", "slowest".
Here is an example demonstrating these movements and speed control:
Python Code
import turtle
# Create a turtle object
t = turtle.Turtle()
# Move the turtle forward by 100 units
t.forward(100)
# Turn the turtle left by 90 degrees
t.left(90)
# Move the turtle forward by 50 units
t.forward(50)
# Turn the turtle right by 90 degrees
t.right(90)
# Move the turtle backward by 50 units
t.backward(50)
# Set the turtle speed to fastest
t.speed("fastest")
# Move the turtle forward by 100 units
t.forward(100)
# Hide the turtle and display the window
t.hideturtle()
turtle.done()
In this code:
The turtle moves forward by 100 units, turns left by 90 degrees, and moves forward by another 50 units.
It then turns right by 90 degrees and moves backward by 50 units.
The turtle's speed is set to the fastest, and it moves forward by 100 units again.
Finally, the turtle is hidden, and the window remains open until it is closed by the user.
