This project demonstrates how to use the Python turtle
graphics library to draw a recursive star pattern. The pattern is drawn using a series of smaller stars within a larger star, creating a fractal-like design.
To run this project, you’ll need to have Python installed on your machine along with the turtle
module. The turtle
module is a standard Python library, so no additional installation is usually required. However, if you’re using an environment that doesn’t include turtle
, you can install it using:
pip install PythonTurtle
Run the script using Python:
python main.py
The main components of the code are:
Setup: The turtle is initialized, and the screen background is set to black.
Drawing the Star: The star
function is a recursive function that draws a star pattern. It takes a turtle object and a size as parameters. The function draws a star, then calls itself with a smaller size to draw smaller stars at each point.
Color and Speed: The turtle’s color is set to yellow, and the drawing speed is set to 25 for a faster rendering.
Color: You can change the color of the star by modifying the a.color("yellow")
line in the code.
Size: The size of the initial star can be adjusted by changing the argument passed to the star
function.
Position: The starting position of the turtle can be changed by modifying the a.goto(-200, 100)
line.
