Python Turtle
While I normally like drawing with a ball point pen (check out my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rlivings/), I do like trying out various drawing tools built into code such as Python Turtle.
Python Turtle is an implementation of geometric drawing tools introduced in the Logo programming language. You can create interesting images such as this “Turtle star”:
Python turtle uses a representation of a turtle (which is a little robot with a pen) that draws on a paper on the floor.
Here’s a basic fractal image created on my Parrot VM:
?You can also create a Turtle that follows your mouse to draw on the paper:
The Tech with Tim website (link below) and his Youtube channel has great tutorials on how to implement these projects.
This is a great way to get an artist interested in coding or for use by the artistic coder!
Processing (previously known as proce55ing) is another drawing tool that uses code to create art which I’m also trying to find some time to use.
