Turtle Module in Python
The Turtle module in Python is a built-in module used to draw shapes, patterns, and pictures on the screen.
It works like a pen. We give commands to move the turtle forward, backward, left, or right, and it draws lines on the screen.
Example: We can use the Turtle module to draw a square, triangle, circle, star, or other designs.
How to Import the Turtle Module
First, import the turtle module using the import statement.
import turtle
Code for using turtle module:
GreetingCards.py
import turtle
import random
# Take the candidate's name as input
name = input("Enter your name: ")
# Create the graphics window
screen = turtle.Screen()
screen.setup(900, 650)
screen.title("My Creative Greeting Card")
screen.bgcolor("#101735")
screen.tracer(0)
# Create a turtle for drawing
pen = turtle.Turtle()
pen.hideturtle()
pen.speed(0)
