Turing Graphics

• • Turing Main Page | Download | Tutorial

  • Screen Coordinates Overview (presentation)

  • Turing Graphics Commands (list of graphics-related commands in Turing)

    • Main commands for today:

      • drawbox (x1, y1, x2, y2, Color)

    • drawfillbox (x1, y1, x2, y2, Color)

      • drawdot (x, y, Color)

      • drawmapleleaf (x1, y1, x2, y2, Color)

    • drawfillmapleleaf (x1, y1, x2, y2, Color)

      • drawoval (x, y, xRadius, yRadius, Color)

    • drawfilloval (x, y, xRadius, yRadius, Color)

      • drawstar (x1, y1, x2, y2, Color : int)

    • drawfillstar (x1, y1, x2, y2, Color)

      • drawline (x1, y1, x2, y2, Color)

• Example Landscapes

Other Interesting Stuff

• • Python Home Page (the main language we are currently using in ICS)

    • Download it free here.

  • Lazarus (also free, for creating Windows programs)

  • Code Academy (learn to program in various languages)

  • Code.org (Anyone can learn!)
