🌟 Python Turtle: A Smile Made with Code

 

Code:

import turtle import time screen = turtle.Screen() screen.setup(600, 600) screen.bgcolor("#050510") t = turtle.Turtle() t.hideturtle() t.speed(0) # Face t.penup() t.goto(0, -180) t.color("#ffd600") t.fillcolor("#ffd600") t.begin_fill() t.circle(180) t.end_fill() screen.update() time.sleep(0.3) # Eyes for x in [-65, 65]: t.penup() t.goto(x, 45) t.dot(35, "#151515") screen.update() time.sleep(0.2) # Smile t.penup() t.goto(-85, -30) t.setheading(-60) t.color("#151515") t.width(10) t.pendown() for _ in range(60): t.forward(3) t.left(2) screen.update() time.sleep(0.015) # Small highlights for x in [-58, 72]: t.penup() t.goto(x, 55) t.dot(8, "white") turtle.done()

Explanation:

1. Import Libraries

import turtle

import time

turtle → Used for drawing.

time → Adds animation delays.

2. Create the Screen

screen = turtle.Screen()

screen.setup(600, 600)

screen.bgcolor("#050510")

Creates the Turtle window.

Sets the size to 600 × 600.

Gives it a dark background.

3. Create the Turtle

t = turtle.Turtle()

t.hideturtle()

t.speed(0)

Creates the drawing turtle.

Hides the turtle cursor.

Sets the fastest drawing speed.

4. Draw the Face

t.penup()

t.goto(0, -180)

Lifts the pen.

Moves to the starting position.

t.color("#ffd600")

t.fillcolor("#ffd600")

Sets the outline color.

Sets the face fill color to yellow.

t.begin_fill()

t.circle(180)

t.end_fill()

Starts filling the shape.

Draws a circle with radius 180.

Fills it with yellow.

5. Animate the Face

screen.update()

time.sleep(0.3)

Updates the screen.

Pauses briefly.

6. Draw the Eyes

for x in [-65, 65]:

Loops through two X positions.

Creates the left and right eyes.

t.penup()

t.goto(x, 45)

Moves to each eye position without drawing.

t.dot(35, "#151515")

Draws a dark circular eye.

screen.update()

time.sleep(0.2)

Updates the screen.

Adds an animation delay.

7. Draw the Smile

t.penup()

t.goto(-85, -30)

Moves to the starting point of the smile.

t.setheading(-60)

Sets the initial drawing direction.

t.color("#151515")

t.width(10)

t.pendown()

Sets a dark color.

Makes the smile thick.

Starts drawing.

8. Create the Curved Smile

for _ in range(60):

Repeats the drawing movement 60 times.

t.forward(3)

t.left(2)

Moves forward.

Turns slightly left.

Together, these create the curved smile.

screen.update()

time.sleep(0.015)

Updates the animation.

Adds a tiny delay.

9. Add Eye Highlights

for x in [-58, 72]:

Selects positions for both eye highlights.

t.penup()

t.goto(x, 55)

Moves to each highlight position.

t.dot(8, "white")

Adds a small white dot.

Creates a shiny eye effect.

10. Finish

turtle.done()

Keeps the Turtle window open.

Ends the drawing.
