Python Turtle Graphics Tutorial #3 - Key Presses & Events

In this video I continue my tutorial on the turtle module in python. The turtle graphics module has built in functionality to listen to events and detect key presses. This allows for us to move the turtle object via user input and create some interesting shapes.

Download and see all the code for this video below...

hope It runs forever

I love this channel its made everything in python more clear

[yeahyeah]

Heres someing that I would recommend: Make a user input and tell the user to enter the amount of pixels they want the turtle to move. To make this work you would hsve to change the 100 in the forward to the user inputs name.

thank you very much sir! this tutorial was great. in most videos no one teach us why we write the program like that or like this. But in your videos you explain the program step by step and it's highly appreciated...

[loneghostkitten]

thankies, youre a gem! I gather this better with you than in class.

[courtneyt]

Thank you this is so helpful. I'm struggling in my class, but this has helped a lot!
And a side note observation, there's a lot of annoying ads popping up throughout the video. Has anyone else noticed? More so than the previous ones.
Oh well.
Thanks again!

Tim, your the best coding master, You deserve 30million subs

[vishweshrai]

just love the way you made things very man

It seems like the first and third lines of your program are redundant. If you are using just one turtle object, you can simplify your code a lot by using 'from turtle import *' statement without the 'import turtle' statement in the first line of code. This command loads the turtle module into you default namespace, and a default turtle is set up for you. So, you won't need the statement 'tim = turtle.Turtle()' to declare your own Turtle object. Additionally, you won't need to specify your Turtle object by prefixing all your turtle commands with 'tim.'. However, if you are planning to use 2 or more turtles, you should instantiate each one using a different name and that way you can specify which turtle you want the command to act upon by using the object name ('tim.' in your example). Other than that, this was an interesting Python turtle graphics tutorial. Most such demos just show how to plot spiral or star patterns, etc. I like the direction you are going with this series.

Thank You!! The Best Channel to learn PYTHON!

[Vejinx]

This is so well done. Thank you so much for this!

[flaminfox]

Me: sees an add about beginner coding app that costs money.

also me: But i have Tech With Tim??

[rubayetalam]

thanks, Tim, want more on the turtle series.

[xrsotqf]

Thank you man, your video help me a lot. Respect 🔥🔥

[conermos]

Thanks so much. website code also helped a lot.

[tamashee]

Thank you so much for this great video. It helped a lot.

I added a function and a listener for when the user clicks the turtle. But it only works if you click the turtle's starting position (ie 0, 0) regardless where the turtle moves to.
This is what I added:

def click_left_turtle(x, y):
print("You clicked turtle")

turtle.listen()
turtle.onclick(click_left_turtle, 1)

Thanks for he lesson, it really helped! 👍

Why didn’t they make up 0 and down 180? That would be more like compass headings.

How can you do the same with more than 1 turtles
