Introduction

Turtle graphics library for CircuitPython and displayio

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython
• Bus Device

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-turtle

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-turtle

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-turtle

Usage Example

import board
from adafruit_turtle import Color, turtle

turtle = turtle(board.DISPLAY)
starsize = min(board.DISPLAY.width, board.DISPLAY.height) * 0.9  # 90% of screensize

print("Turtle time! Lets draw a star")

turtle.pencolor(Color.BLUE)

turtle.penup()
turtle.goto(-starsize/2, 0)
turtle.pendown()

start = turtle.pos()
while True:
    turtle.forward(starsize)
    turtle.left(170)
    if abs(turtle.pos() - start) < 1:
        break

while True:
    pass
