I am following a tutorial for Python learning and I can't get the screen to open to draw. I don't get an error, it just shows that the program finish running. Maybe I missed something, can someone point it out?
import turtle #acutally called turtle to draw a turtle beautiful also used
to draw other stuff
# to draw a square or eventually a turtle you need to do this things below
# to draw a square you want to : move forward,turn right,move forward,turn
right,move forward turn right
def draw_square(): #draw square for turtles
window = turtle.Screen() #this is the background where the turtle will
move
window.bgcolor("red") # the color of the screen
brad = turtle.Turtle() #this is how to start drawing like time.sleep you use turtle.Turtle
brad.forward(100)#move turtle forward takes in a number which is the distance to move forward
brad.forward(90)# moves right
brad.forward(100)
brad.forward(90)
brad.forward(100)
brad.forward(90)
brad.forward(100)
brad.forward(90)
window.exitonclick() #click the screen to close it
draw_square()
Your primary error is these two lines are in the wrong order:
window.exitonclick() #click the screen to close it
draw_square()
The exitonclick()
, or mainloop()
, or done()
should be the last thing your turtle code does as they turn control over to Tk's event loop. A rework of your code for the above and style issues:
import turtle
# to draw a square, or eventually a turtle, you need to do the things below
def draw_square():
""" draw square for turtles """
# to draw a square you want to : move forward, turn right,
# move forward, turn right,move forward turn right
brad = turtle.Turtle()
brad.forward(100) # forward takes a number which is the distance to move
brad.right(90) # turn right
brad.forward(100)
brad.right(90)
brad.forward(100)
brad.right(90)
brad.forward(100)
brad.right(90)
window = turtle.Screen()
# this is the background where the turtle will move
window.bgcolor("red") # the color of the window
draw_square()
window.exitonclick() # click the screen to close it
