Lab 1: Programming and Turtle

The focus of this class this semester will be on digital media. However, to be able to do that we need to have some basis to start the creation of programs. Towards that end, we will start programming this week using the Turtle, a simplistic drawing framework for Python.

Directory Structure

One thing that you will likely need to do several times over the course of the semester is look at your old code files. This will not be easy unless you use a good organization scheme. For this class, we will enforce that organization scheme.

In your Z: drive, create a folder called INQ241. In this folder, create two more folders called labs and assignments. Finally, inside of your labs folder, create a new folder called lab1.

House

Using Python and the JES software, create a picture of a house. Your house must have a pitched roof, a door, and two windows. Sizes of the house and colors are not important, but the house should be symmetrical.

Star

Using Python and the JES software, create a picture of a 5 pointed star. Your star must be symmetrical, but it does not have to be oriented vertically.
