Day eighteen point eight of my hundred day coding challenge bar hundred days already elapsing since starting.

Day eighteen point eight of the hundred day challenge. Hive account@dennnmarc you were playing with Turtle graphics for uni and I think day eighteen in my challenge closely parallels what you are doing.

This is the teachers turtle code

You had to create a pattern from a triangle all the way to a ten sided shape, no idea the name, tetragon? Well anyway below here is the solution to a very code that took me about ten days to finish.

import turtle as t
import random

tim = t.Turtle()

colours = ["CornflowerBlue", "DarkOrchid", "IndianRed", "DeepSkyBlue", "wheat", "SlateGray", "SeaGreen"]

def draw_shape(num_sidces):
    angle = 360 / num_sides
    for _ in range(num_sides):
        tim.forward(100)
        tim.right(angle)

for shape_side_n in range(3, 11):
    tim.color(random.choice(colours))
    draw_shape(shape_side_n)

The beauty of functions allows you to have a streamlined approach to tackling what desired outcome you want for Turtle graphics. Well below is how I did it and man was I good or what!?

import random
from turtle import Turtle, Screen

tim = turtle.Turtle()
tim.shape("turtle")
colours = ["red", "CornflowerBlue", "DarkOrchid", "IndianRed", "DeepSkyBlue", "wheat", "SlateGray", "SeaGreen"]
time = 0
screen = Screen()
screen.colormode(255)

triangle = True
screen.colormode(255)
tim.pencolor(randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255))

while triangle:
    tim.forward(100)
    tim.right(120)
    time += 1
    if time == 3:
        triangle = False
        time = 0

screen.colormode(255)
tim.pencolor(randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255))

while square:
    tim.forward(100)
    tim.right(90)
    time += 1
    if time == 4:
        square = False
        time = 0

pentagon = True
screen.colormode(255)
tim.pencolor(randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255))

while pentagon:
    tim.forward(100)
    tim.right(72)
    time += 1
    if time == 5:
        pentagon = False
        time = 0

hexagon = True
screen.colormode(255)
tim.pencolor(randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255))

while hexagon:
    tim.forward(100)
    tim.right(60)
    time += 1
    if time == 6:
        hexagon = False
        time = 0

heptagon = True
screen.colormode(255)
tim.pencolor(randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255))

while heptagon:
    tim.forward(100)
    tim.right(51.4)
    time += 1
    if time == 7:
        heptagon = False
        time = 0

octagon = True
screen.colormode(255)
tim.pencolor(randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255))

while octagon:
    tim.forward(100)
    tim.right(45)
    time += 1
    if time == 8:
        octagon = False
        time = 0

nonagon = True
screen.colormode(255)
tim.pencolor(randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255), randint(1, 255))

while nonagon:
    tim.forward(100)
    tim.right(40)
    time += 1
    if time == 9:
        nonagon = False
        time = 0
screen.exitonclick()

I mean I really sucked and it was fully realised after I watched her solution code, I mean talk about repeats in commands and what ever I thought was great became clear I had forgotten about functions.

Of course after that I had other challenges like making these two patterns, which turned out to be quite easy after remembering to use functions to make something like this below. A random right angled pattern created with a few function calls. I am sure you would not want me to give you a code work for it.

Here's one.

Can you guess what it pattern it gives out. Of course it is not optimised but I just wanted the pattern. Still a work in progress.

import random
import turtle as t


tim = t.Turtle()
t.colormode(255)
time = 0
tim.speed(100)
tim.pensize(5)
screen = t.Screen()


def random_color():
    r = random.randint(0, 255)
    g = random.randint(0, 255)
    b = random.randint(0, 255)
    color = (r, g, b)
    return color


def random_step():
    tim.color(random_color())
    tim.right(5)
    tim.circle(100)
    # tim.setheading(random.choice(compass))
    # tim.forward(10)


while time < 1000:
    random_step()
    time += 1

screen.exitonclick()

Like all things I do, my mind is racing to other things while doing something, even when I really like what I am doing, I have found I am still doing others things simultaneously. I think the term neurodiverse kind of applies to me somehow. Its a nice way of say I have a mild form of ADHD. Cause you know feelings...

Anyway thanks for your time, hope you got something out of this.
