Confetti Artwork Challenges
For these challenges we will produce on screen artwork by randomly positioning confetti on different shapes of canvas. Our code will use Python Turtle to draw the canvas and the confetti. Square Canvas Check how the code provided below randomly…
Confetti Challenge
In this Python challenge we will write a script to randomly draw confetti on a canvas while ensuring that none of the confetti overlap with each other! Problem Decomposition In this challenge we will need to solve the following problems:…
Random Background Generator
In this challenge we will use a Python script (using Python Turtle) to generate a random background for a 2D video game. To create a mountain range skyline we will use a polynomial function: In our example (see trinket…
Oblique Projection Formulas
The aim of this challenge is to demonstrate how the oblique projection formulas are used to convert 3D coordinates (x,y,z) into 2D coordinates (x,y). The oblique projection formulas are essential to understand how 3D models are displayed on a 2D…
Moroccan Mosaic
Moroccan mosaic, aka Zellige (الزليج), is a form of Islamic art and one of the main characteristics of Moroccan architecture. It consists of geometrically patterned mosaics, used to ornament walls, ceilings, fountains, floors, pools and tables. Each mosaic is a…
2D Shapes using Python Turtle
In this challenge we will use Python Turtle to draw regular polygons including: An equilateral triangle A square A pentagon An hexagon etc. Did you know? In Euclidean geometry, a regular polygon is a polygon that is equiangular (all angles…
Infinite Quarter Series
The infinite quarter series is a series where each term is a quarter of the previous one: We can visually represent this series by dividing a canvas (or price of paper) into 4 quadrants and colouring in one quadrant (bottom…
Golden Angle
In geometry, the golden angle is the smaller of the two angles created by sectioning the circumference of a circle according to the golden ratio. Golden Angle ≈ 137.5° The golden angle plays a significant role in the theory of…
Graphing Algorithm
In this challenge we will write several procedures to graph different mathematical equations on screen using Python Turtle. We will focus on: Linear equations: y = ax + b Quadratic equations: y = ax2 + bx + c Trigonometric functions:…
