Prerequisite: Turtle Programming Basics
Turtle is an inbuilt module in Python. It provides drawing using a screen (cardboard) and turtle (pen). To draw something on the screen, we need to move the turtle (pen). To move turtle, there are some functions i.e forward(), backward(), etc.
For drawing Chess Board following steps are used :
- Import turtle and making an object.
- Set screen size and turtle position.
- Define a method to draw a square
- Call the method 8 times under another loop for 8 times with alternative color.
- Hide the turtle object.
Below is the implementation :
python3
# import turtle packageimport turtle # create screen objectsc = turtle.Screen() # create turtle objectpen = turtle.Turtle() # method to draw squaredef draw(): for i in range(4): pen.forward(30) pen.left(90) pen.forward(30) # Driver Codeif __name__ == "__main__" : # set screen sc.setup(600, 600) # set turtle object speed pen.speed(100) # loops for board for i in range(8): # not ready to draw pen.up() # set position for every row pen.setpos(0, 30 * i) # ready to draw pen.down() # row for j in range(8): # conditions for alternative color if (i + j)% 2 == 0: col ='black' else: col ='white' # fill with given color pen.fillcolor(col) # start filling with colour pen.begin_fill() # call method draw() # stop filling pen.end_fill() # hide the turtle pen.hideturtle() # This code is contributed by Deepanshu Rustagi. |
