This lab assumes your initials have 3 letters. If you don't have three letters for your initials, add a number or some other symbol to get it to at least three "initials".
The key to this lab is to write the letters using very "blocky" upper case letters. For example:
I made letters that were 100 pixels high and 50 pixels wide. I also put a space of 25 pixels between each letter and left a space of 25 pixels around the border. You don't need to follow my plan exactly, but I think it works fairly well. I also set the width of the pen to be a little thicker than the default size of 1 pixel wide.![]()
Remember to keep the pen up between letters. This is done by using the penUp() and penDown() functions in JES.
Also, remember to change the color of the pen. You specify the color of the pen using the setPenColor() method from the Turtle class. The parameter will be the color you wish to use.
For example, set have the turtle "turtle1" draw with the color red you would use the code:
turtle1.setPenColor ( red );The following colors are predefined in JES:
black | white | gray | darkGray | lightGray |
red | green | blue | yellow | cyan |
magenta | orange | pink |
Also you can check out the code we did in class that draws lines in different colors. That code is lect0126c.py .
