You might have drawn Sun using famous Python module like turtle but here we discuss how the same approach can be achieved using arcade module. The Arcade library is a modern Python Module used widely for developing 2D video games with compelling graphics and sound. Arcade is an object-oriented library. It can be installed like any other Python Package.
Installation
To install this module, just simply run the following command on your command prompt:
pip install arcade
Approach:
The following steps illustrate how to create a basic drawing using arcade module:
- Import module.
- Specify the parameters for your output screen like width, height, etc.
- Open the window using the inbuilt open_window() in arcade. This command opens a window with a given size i.e width and height along with screen title.
- Set a background color (optional). It can be done using set_background_color() method built into arcade
- Tell your module to start drawing using start_render() command which is again built into arcade.
- Start designing, you can use functions already available with arcade to do so.
- Tell arcade module that you have completed the drawing using finish_render().
- Run your code using run().
