Turtle Challenges

Play around with the turtles to create something cool! Feel free to start from the challenges below, or do something completely different.

Pentagon

Update the code so that the turtle draws a pentagon instead of a square.

Code to Update

for x in range(4):
  shelly.forward(100)
  shelly.right(90)

HINT: Update the numbers from the square loop (the 4 and the 90) so that the turtle draws the correct number of sides, and turns the correct angle each time

Other Shapes

Make the turtle draw the following shapes:

• Diamond
• Hexagon
• Septagon
• Parallelogram
• Trapezoid

Try to keep each shape separate, so they do not overlap.

Complete Drawing

Use a turtle to draw a whole picture, like a house, a flower, an animal, a tree, or anything else that comes to mind!

Turtle Examples

Check out the Turtle Examples to see some cool turtle features. Try copying and pasting some of the code, and updating it to create something unique. Change any of the numbers or colors to see how it affects the drawing!
