CS414 Spring 2017 Program #4

Before You Begin:

• Create a folder on your computer where your files will be kept. Create a separate python file for each question!
• To keep your work organized, create a different folder for each lab, and for each programming assignment.

When You Are Done:

Questions:

1. Create a program initials.py which draws your initials on the turtle window.

   • Your initials should be large, covering most of the window.
   • Each letter of your initials should use a different color and pen width.
   • Below your initials, use turtle.write() to display your name.

2. Create a program octagons.py which covers the turtle window with octagons and squares, as in this picture:

   
   • Squares and octagons should have different colors.
   • Draw thin black lines around your shapes.
   Method: create a function:

               def draw_tile(x, y):
                  ...
                  ...
             

   which draws a green octagon with one attached yellow diamond. In your main program, use a double for loop that calls draw_tile() repeatedly.

   Try it with graph paper first!

   
   
   

3. Create a prorgam crosses.py which covers the turtle screen with latin crosses, as in this picture:

   
   • Just draw the outlines using thin black lines; the crosses don't have to be colored.

   Method: again, create a function:

               def draw_cross(x, y):
                  ...
                  ...
             

   which draws a latin cross. In your main program, use a double for loop that calls draw_tile() repeatedly. Notice that each cross is not exactly to the right of its neighbor: it's to the right, and down a bit.

   Again, do it with graph paper first!
