Draw phone with turtle

The Turtle module lets you draw. Originally it's made for kids, but it's a useful tool for learning programming concepts.

To load the module simply type

import turtle
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then you can start drawing. You get a sheet of paper and can move the pen around.

For instance, you can draw a mobile phone with turtle. Like the phone shown in the screenshot, which is made using basic shapes (rectangle, circles and all)

#!/usr/bin/python3
import turtle

def round_rectangle(length,high,cor_angle,cor_rad):    
    for i in range(2):
        turtle.fd(high)
        turtle.circle(cor_rad,cor_angle)
        turtle.fd(length)
        turtle.circle(cor_rad,cor_angle)      

def main():
    turtle.setup(1300,800,0,0)
    pythonsize=3
    turtle.pensize(pythonsize)
    turtle.speed(10)
    turtle.seth(90)

    turtle.pencolor("#8E8e8e")
    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(202,-202)
    turtle.pendown()
    round_rectangle(244,484,90,30)

    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(200,-200)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.color("#F0F0F0")
    round_rectangle(240,480,90,30)
    turtle.end_fill()

    turtle.pencolor("black")
    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(185,-150)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.color("black")
    round_rectangle(270,380,90,0)
    turtle.end_fill()

    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(80,265)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.color("#9d9d9d")
    round_rectangle(60,4,90,1)
    turtle.end_fill()

    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(67,290)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.color("#3c3c3c")
    round_rectangle(36,4,90,1)
    turtle.end_fill()

    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(0,265)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.color("#3c3c3c")
    turtle.circle(6,360)
    turtle.end_fill()

    turtle.pencolor("#9d9d9d")
    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(75,-185)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.circle(25,360)

    turtle.pencolor("#9d9d9d")
    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(60,-190)
    turtle.pendown()    

    turtle.exitonclick()

main()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can draw many, if you wrap it in a function

Like this:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import turtle
turtle.setup(1300,800,0,0)

def round_rectangle(length,high,cor_angle,cor_rad):    
    for i in range(2):
        turtle.fd(high)
        turtle.circle(cor_rad,cor_angle)
        turtle.fd(length)
        turtle.circle(cor_rad,cor_angle)      

def draw_phone(x,y):    
    pythonsize=3
    turtle.pensize(pythonsize)
    turtle.speed(30)
    turtle.seth(90)

    turtle.pencolor("#8E8e8e")
    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(x+202,y+-202)
    turtle.pendown()
    round_rectangle(244,484,90,30)

    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(x+200,y+-200)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.color("#F0F0F0")
    round_rectangle(240,480,90,30)
    turtle.end_fill()

    turtle.pencolor("black")
    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(x+185,y+-150)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.color("black")
    round_rectangle(270,380,90,0)
    turtle.end_fill()

    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(x+80,y+265)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.color("#9d9d9d")
    round_rectangle(60,4,90,1)
    turtle.end_fill()

    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(x+67,y+290)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.color("#3c3c3c")
    round_rectangle(36,4,90,1)
    turtle.end_fill()

    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(x+0,y+265)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.begin_fill()
    turtle.color("#3c3c3c")
    turtle.circle(6,360)
    turtle.end_fill()

    turtle.pencolor("#9d9d9d")
    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(x+75,y+-185)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.circle(25,360)

    turtle.pencolor("#9d9d9d")
    turtle.penup()  
    turtle.goto(x+60,y+-190)
    turtle.pendown()    


def main():
    draw_phone(0,0)
    draw_phone(300,50)
    draw_phone(500,-400)
    draw_phone(-200,300)
    draw_phone(-600,50)
    turtle.exitonclick()

main()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
