Day 12 - Menu Driven Turtle with if and while

We create a menu-controllable turtle program that uses if…elif…else and an infinite “while True” loop to make interesting patterns.

Starter Code

# Start with a blank file

Finished Code

from turtle import *

print("Welcome to my menu-turtle.".center(60))
while True:
    print("""\nEnter a command to continue:
    fd - Go forward
    rt - turn right
    lt - turn left
    c - make a circle
    \n""")
    strChoice = input("What do you want to do?")
    if (strChoice == "fd"):
        forward(50)
    elif (strChoice == "rt"):
        right(90)
    elif (strChoice == "lt"):
        left(90)
    elif (strChoice == "c"):
        circle(100)
    else:
        print("That command isn't valid.")
