Raspberry Pi Python: Turtle Patterns

Exploring the interactive world of Turtle Graphics on your Raspberry Pi is easy with Python's 'turtle' module.

Here's a short Python program to create a pattern with coloured circles:

from turtle import *

pensize(5)

for i in range(4):
   for c in ["red","green","blue"]:
      pencolor(c)
      circle(100)
      right(30)

exitonclick()

Create a new Geany file, enter the Python code, save it as turtle-patterns.py and execute the program. After you've seen it run modify the code to experiment with different pen sizes, colour names and circle diameters.
