Holiday Art

Wow! this project was amazing. The project was to make a holiday-related piece of artwork in Python Turtle. I made a Christmas tree. There were many ups and downs but more positives.

The first step was to make the tree. I found that relatively easy. Then I decided to add “Merry Christmas”. I had gotten the turtle. write commands correctly but I wanted to change the color. I finally figured out after many struggles the code for the font color. It was turtle.fill color.

I had some extra time so I decided to add light to the trees. My original plan was string lights along the whole tree but then changed it. I struggle a little bit on it and i made round lights in circles on the entire tree.

I am really proud of the way it turned out and I enjoyed working with Python if this was the last.

Random Maze Challenge

Well. Random maze. We had to make our turtle go from the beginning to the end of the maze, but it changed every time. I did not succeed. I used random blocks, goto to make it random. I was able to get 2 lines but I had to get a few more before I could repeat my code. I used random codes but then divided by two. The beginning of the project was a mess. I couldn’t get anywhere and I had to keep deleting my code. I tried bouncing back but it didn’t work. But eventually, I got the idea.

I had gotten it to work but then I had to add forward command. It was towards then end of class but I wasn’t able to make the tweak. This challenge was a good one. It was tough but when we went over the answers I got a sense of what I was doing wrong.
