# 5: Interactive Turtles

## Expectations

### Learning Targets <a href="#learning-targets" id="learning-targets"></a>

* I can interpret an unfamiliar code base.
* I can extend the code to my own project.

### Assessments <a href="#assessments" id="assessments"></a>

* You will create an interactive program or game based on existing turtle classes
* You will be asked regular comprehension questions about Python.

## Adding Moving Turtle

```
from turtle import Turtle


class ClassName (Turtle):
    def __init__(self, starting_x, starting_y):
        Turtle.__init__(self)
        self.starting_x = starting_x
        self.starting_y = starting_y
        
        # General setup
        # self.color("black")
        # self.penup()
        # self.shape("turtle")
        # self.goto(self.starting_x, self.starting_y)
        
    def method_example(self):
        pass
        ## change the name and make the method work
```

## Assignment and Rubric

Create an interactive turtle application of your own design. This can be a game or other interactive program, but it must use at least two of the three types of turtle classes we have outlined (moving turtle, keyboard turtle, clickable turtle).

* **3 pts** - Program works without errors
* **3pts** - Program uses two classes of turtle
* **3pts** - Program is interactive. Users can DO something with the program beyond what we set up in class. Make sure your theme is cohesive!
* **1pts** - Program is cleaned up (unused imports have been deleted, for example)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://gilmour.online/compsci/pnr/5-replit-github-and-repositories-oh-my.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
