TASK
back to top
In this assignment you will use turtle graphics to create an interactive forest drawing application.
Start by creating a module ‘utilities.py’ which should contain four drawing functions as listed
below.
• draw_triangle(centre_x, centre_y, width, height, pen_color, fill_color)
• draw_rectangle(centre_x, centre_y, width, height, pen_color, fill_color)
• draw_circle(centre_x, centre_y, radius, pen_color, fill_color)
• stamp_turtle(centre_x, centre_y, color)
The parameter names are self explanatory. For example, the draw_triangle() function should
draw an upwards pointing triangle with (centre_x, centre_y) located as shown in figure.

Additionally the module should also contain these functions:


• distance(x1, y1, x2, y2) – to find the Cartesian distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2,
y2)
• save_state() and restore_state() – the former should save turtle’s important parameters
(position, pen color, fill color) in global (module-level) variables. The latter function will
reload the turtle’s state from those same variables. The four drawing functions listed
above should call these save and restore functions before and after a drawing respectively
so that turtle’s state is restored to same values as it was before a drawing.
In your main file ‘forest.py’ you should import the utilities module and call its functions to do all
drawings. No direct drawing should be needed from main file.
At the program start, you should disable all turtle animations and change the turtle’s icon to a
bird shape (see sample code). Then turtle should be hidden from view. Next your program
should implement the following requirements.
• Create a large rectangle to represent drawing boundary.
• On top of the rectangle, draw two small circles and write text to let the user choose between a
bird and tree drawing. When the program starts, tree must be chosen by default.
• Handle mouse clicks in the turtle window. Clicks within the drawing rectangle will draw a tree
or bird depending on user’s selection. Mouse clicks outside the drawing rectangle are
ignored, except for those within the selection circles which switch the drawing mode
from bird to tree.
• Drawing a tree consists of drawing one vertical rectangle (stem) and three overlapped triangles
(branches and leaves).
• The bird on the other hand should be drawn using turtle stamping at the click point.
• Tree size should change randomly. First you will choose a reference size for tree components
(stem rectangle and leave triangles). Then at the drawing time, generate a random value
between 0.7 and 1.3 which will act as a scale factor so that individual trees can be shorter,
equal to or bigger than the reference size.
• When the bird mode is selected, the (bird shaped) turtle becomes visible in the top left corner.
When tree mode is selected, turtle hides itself again.
• While the bird mode is selected, your program should respond to left (⭠ ) and right (⭢ )
keyboard buttons. User will press these buttons in order to change the turtle’s tilt angle.
By changing the title angle, birds can be drawn in many different orientations.
For further clarification of all these requirements, watch this video demo of the application:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYuyRYipZz4. You should try to make a drawing with similar
style and colors.
Suggested dimensions and locations of all elements
Window size – 800 × 800
Inner rectangle – 700 × 700
Tree/bird selector circles – radius 10, centre points (0, 370) and (100, 370)
Bird location in top left – (-340, 370)
Tree (unscaled) size – stem 15 × 80, leaves 100 × 50, 40% overlap of leaf triangles
Sample Codes
All the following turtle functions can be called after importing the turtle module.
(1) To change window size
turtle.setup(window_width, window_height)
(2) To handle mouse clicks
# first create a click handler function which receives (x,y) location of click point
# Python call this function automatically when a left click is detected anywhere in the window
def handle_click(x, y):
print('detected a click at', x, y)

# in main function, declare hande_click as the listener function


turtle.listen()
turtle.onscreenclick(handle_click) # pass the function name as parameter (no function call)
(3) To handle keyboard buttons
# create a listener function which is called automatically on button press
def left_keypress():
print('left key detected')

# in main function, declare left_keypress as the listener function


turtle.listen()
turtle.onkey(left_keypress, 'Left')
(4) To change turtle icon to a bird
turtle.register_shape('bird', ((-22,-39),(-20,-7),(-7,3),(-11,7),(-12,9),(-11,10),(-9,10),(-3,7),
(10,24),(30,16),(13,18),(4,0),(14,-6),(6,-13),(0,-4),(-14,-13),(-22,-39)))
turtle.shape('bird')
(5) To change turtle tilt angle (it is different from turtle heading)
turtle.tiltangle(new_tilt_value)
Constraints
In many online examples of turtle graphics applications, multiple turtle objects are used on the
same window. You are NOT allowed that. Only use a single turtle for all drawings.
You should follow good programming practices, for example using named constants, creating
several functions (top down design) and minimizing the use of global variables. A few global
variables will be essential though, for example, to store the currently selected drawing object and
the current tilt angle value.

Your assignment should consist of following tasks.


Task 1
Draw a flowchart of your handle_click() function, including flowcharts for all other functions
that are called by handle_click.
You can draw the flowcharts with a pen/pencil on a piece of paper and scan it for submission, as
long as the handwriting is clear and legible. However, it is strongly recommended to draw
flowcharts using a drawing software.
Task 2
Select four sets of test data that will demonstrate the 'normal' operation of your program; that is,
test data that will demonstrate what happens when a valid input is entered. Select three sets of
test data that will demonstrate the 'abnormal' operation of your program. Please note that for this
application, user input includes mouse clicks as well as keyboard button presses.
Set out test results in a tabular form as follows. It is important that the output listings (i.e.,
screenshots) are not edited in any way.

Task 3
Implement your program in Python. Comment on your code as necessary to explain it
clearly. Run your program using the test data you have selected and complete the final column
of test data table above.
Your submission will consist of:
1 Your algorithm through flowchart/s
2 The table recording your chosen test data and results
3 Source code for your Python implementation
Thus your directory for Assignment will at least contain two or three files (depending on whether
you put the flowchart and the test table in the same file).

It is critically important that your test runs are unmodified outputs from your program, and that
these results should be reproducible by the marker running your saved .py python program.
RATIONALE
back to top
This assessment task will work towards assessing the following learning outcome/s:
• be able to analyse the steps involved in a disciplined approach to problem-solving, algorithm
development and coding.
• be able to demonstrate and explain elements of good programming style.
• be able to identify, isolate and correct errors; and evaluate the corrections in all phases of the
programming process.
• be able to interpret and implement algorithms and program code.
• be able to apply sound program analysis, design, coding, debugging, testing and
documentation techniques to simple programming problems.
• be able to write code in an appropriate coding language.

Additional Note: The standards outlined for each criteria are cumulative. So, for example, to
achieve the standard for high distinction your work also needs to meet the standards outlined for
Pass, Credit and Distinction levels.

PRESENTATION

You have to prepare and present all source code, test data table, and flowchart/s separately and
include them all in a single MS Word file identified by your name. See the 'Requirements'
section below. The Python source code you write should be saved with a name such as
ITC558assignment2YourName.py and then include a copy of it as text in the MS Word file
named ITC558assignment2YourName.docx.
The other parts of the assignment (such as your flowchart/s and your table of test data) should be
included in the same MS Word file and save as ITC558assignment2YourName.docx.
It is critically important that your test runs are unmodified outputs from your program, and that
these results should be reproducible by the marker running your saved
ITC558assignment2YourName.py python program.
REQUIREMENTS

You have to save all the parts of the assignment (as described under 'Presentation' above) into a
single MS Word document identified by your name as outlined in the section on presentation.
Failure to adhere to these requirements may disqualify the submission for marking.
Submit your complete assignment in MS Word format to Turnitin and insert your program
source code as an object to your MS Word document (The subject lecturer will explain to you
how to insert the object to your MS Word document).
