Wishing Merry Christmas in Pythonic way

Merry Christmas everyone.

Since this is Christmas today, I thought of wishing everyone in a different way. I am python programmer and I love writing code so I decided to do something with python and after 1 hour I was ready with the below script to wish all of you Merry Christmas using python turtle.

Code is available on Github as well.

from turtle import *
from random import randint

def create_rectangle(turtle, color, x, y, width, height):
    turtle.penup()
    turtle.color(color)
    turtle.fillcolor(color)
    turtle.goto(x, y)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.forward(width)
    turtle.left(90)
    turtle.forward(height)
    turtle.left(90)
    turtle.forward(width)
    turtle.left(90)
    turtle.forward(height)
    turtle.left(90)
    # fill the above shape
    turtle.end_fill()
    # Reset the orientation of the turtle
    turtle.setheading(0)

def create_circle(turtle, x, y, radius, color):
    oogway.penup()
    oogway.color(color)
    oogway.fillcolor(color)
    oogway.goto(x, y)
    oogway.pendown()
    oogway.begin_fill()
    oogway.circle(radius)
    oogway.end_fill()

BG_COLOR = "#0080ff"
# "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.”
#                                                       — Oogway to Po under the peach tree, Kung Fu Panda
oogway = Turtle()
# set turtle speed
oogway.speed(2)
screen = oogway.getscreen()
# set background color
screen.bgcolor(BG_COLOR)
# set tile of screen
screen.title("Merry Christmas")
# maximize the screen
screen.setup(width=1.0, height=1.0)
y = -100
# create tree trunk
create_rectangle(oogway, "red", -15, y-60, 30, 60)
# create tree
width = 240
oogway.speed(10)
while width > 10:
    width = width - 10
    height = 10
    x = 0 - width/2
    create_rectangle(oogway, "green", x, y, width, height)
    y = y + height
# create a star a top of tree
oogway.speed(1)
oogway.penup()
oogway.color('yellow')
oogway.goto(-20, y+10)
oogway.begin_fill()
oogway.pendown()
for i in range(5):
    oogway.forward(40)
    oogway.right(144)
oogway.end_fill()
tree_height = y + 40
# create moon in sky
# create a full circle
create_circle(oogway, 230, 180, 60, "white")
# overlap with full circle of BG color to make a crescent shape
create_circle(oogway, 220, 180, 60, BG_COLOR)
# now add few stars in sky
oogway.speed(10)
number_of_stars = randint(20,30)
# print(number_of_stars)
for _ in range(0,number_of_stars):
    x_star = randint(-(screen.window_width()//2),screen.window_width()//2)
    y_star = randint(tree_height, screen.window_height()//2)
    size = randint(5,20)
    oogway.penup()
    oogway.color('white')
    oogway.goto(x_star, y_star)
    oogway.begin_fill()
    oogway.pendown()
    for i in range(5):
        oogway.forward(size)
        oogway.right(144)
    oogway.end_fill()
# print greeting message
oogway.speed(1)
oogway.penup()
msg = "Merry Christmas from ThePythonDjango.Com"
oogway.goto(0, -200)  # y is in minus because tree trunk was below x axis
oogway.color("white")
oogway.pendown()
oogway.write(msg, move=False, align="center", font=("Arial", 15, "bold"))
oogway.hideturtle()
screen.mainloop()

Where in the world do you celebrate Christmas on June 26th? ;)

Fun post nonetheless!

P.S. Consider cross-posting your articles directly on DEV.to with a linkback. You'll get a lot more readership that way. :)

Hi Jason,

I wrote this article on Christmas last year. Copy pasted the same on dev.to few days back.

"Consider cross-posting your articles directly on DEV.to with a linkback." - So I just need to include a link to the original article at the top of the content. Is that all or something else needs to be done?

[Jason C. McDonald]

The top or bottom, yes. You can also (optionally) use the canonical_url = variable in the Front Matter variables (where title, tag, and description are set).

Just make sure you do indeed post the whole article. We're trying to cut down on the recent influx of click-farming (as I call it), where people use DEV.to simply as a vehicle to promote their own websites. I know you're not doing this, but it's been a problem across the board.

Thanks for being here!

Thanks Jason.

I will make sure I post the whole article every time.
