Introduction
To wish someone a merry Christmas using Python, you can simply use the print function. But as a programmer, we love to show our work graphically. So in this post i will tell you how you can wish someone merry Christmas using python turtle
CODE
Here is a well-commented code to write or wish merry Christmas using python turtle
from turtle import *
from random import randint
def create_rectangle(turtle, color, x, y, width, height):
turtle.penup()
turtle.color(color)
turtle.fillcolor(color)
turtle.goto(x, y)
turtle.pendown()
turtle.begin_fill()
turtle.forward(width)
turtle.left(90)
turtle.forward(height)
turtle.left(90)
turtle.forward(width)
turtle.left(90)
turtle.forward(height)
turtle.left(90)
# fill the above shape
turtle.end_fill()
# Reset the orientation of the turtle
turtle.setheading(0)
def create_circle(turtle, x, y, radius, color):
oogway.penup()
oogway.color(color)
oogway.fillcolor(color)
oogway.goto(x, y)
oogway.pendown()
oogway.begin_fill()
oogway.circle(radius)
oogway.end_fill()
BG_COLOR = "#0080ff"
# "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.”
# — Oogway to Po under the peach tree, Kung Fu Panda
oogway = Turtle()
# set turtle speed
oogway.speed(2)
screen = oogway.getscreen()
# set background color
screen.bgcolor(BG_COLOR)
# set tile of screen
screen.title("Merry Christmas")
# maximize the screen
screen.setup(width=1.0, height=1.0)
y = -100
# create tree trunk
create_rectangle(oogway, "red", -15, y-60, 30, 60)
# create tree
width = 240
oogway.speed(10)
while width > 10:
width = width - 10
height = 10
x = 0 - width/2
create_rectangle(oogway, "green", x, y, width, height)
y = y + height
# create a star a top of tree
oogway.speed(1)
oogway.penup()
oogway.color('yellow')
oogway.goto(-20, y+10)
oogway.begin_fill()
oogway.pendown()
for i in range(5):
oogway.forward(40)
oogway.right(144)
oogway.end_fill()
tree_height = y + 40
# create moon in sky
# create a full circle
create_circle(oogway, 230, 180, 60, "white")
# overlap with full circle of BG color to make a crescent shape
create_circle(oogway, 220, 180, 60, BG_COLOR)
# now add few stars in sky
oogway.speed(10)
number_of_stars = randint(20,30)
# print(number_of_stars)
for _ in range(0,number_of_stars):
x_star = randint(-(screen.window_width()//2),screen.window_width()//2)
y_star = randint(tree_height, screen.window_height()//2)
size = randint(5,20)
oogway.penup()
oogway.color('white')
oogway.goto(x_star, y_star)
oogway.begin_fill()
oogway.pendown()
for i in range(5):
oogway.forward(size)
oogway.right(144)
oogway.end_fill()
# print greeting message
oogway.speed(1)
oogway.penup()
msg = "Merry Christmas from codehub.py family"
oogway.goto(0, -200) # y is in minus because tree trunk was below x axis
oogway.color("white")
oogway.pendown()
oogway.write(msg, move=False, align="center", font=("Arial", 15, "bold"))
oogway.hideturtle()
screen.mainloop()
Looks interesting. I’ll try it with my Grandson. Several lines of code or comments were cut off on the right edge. Would you please attach the full code listing? Thanks.
I apologize. I just found out that you can scroll to the right to see the rest of the text. Doug
