Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Tkinter Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Lingl (gregorlingl) Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: new turtle module Initial Comment: The file, at present named xturtle.py is a reimplementation of turtle.py with additional features, among them: -Better animation of the turtle movements, especially of turning the turtle. So the turtles can more easily be used as a visual feedback instrument by the (beginning) programmer. -Different turtle shapes, gif-images as turtle shapes, user defined and user controllable turtle shapes, among them compound (multicolored) shapes. -Fine control over turtle movement and screen updates via delay(), and enhanced tracer() and speed(), update() methods. -Aliases for the most commonly used commands, like fd for forward etc. ... -Some simple commands/methods for creating event driven programs (mouse-, key-, timer-events). Especially useful for programming simple games. -A scrollable Canvas class. The scrollable Canvas can be extended interactively as needed while playing around with the turtle(s) (e. g. to follow some escaped turtle). -Commands for controlling background color or background image. detailed documentation is in the docstrings (similar to the last version of turtle.py) which copmrise approx. 50% of the filesize. xturtle.py is widely backward compatible to turtle.py (i. e. except the appearance of the turtle(s) and their animation) I propose to replace turtle.py by xturtle.py Separate Documentation is available as a text file reassembled and enhanced from the docstring. I'll supply this in a separate patch (as it seems impossible here to attach 2 files) Regards, Gregor Lingl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1513695&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
