Drawing Shapes with the Python Turtle Module

The Python Turtle module enables graphical outputs through code using a pointer that draws shapes as it moves. This tutorial covers basic turtle commands (forward, backward, left, right, color, width), demonstrates object-oriented programming with turtle and screen objects, and shows how to draw geometric shapes like triangles, squares, and pentagons. It builds toward creating a reusable function that draws any polygon by calculating exterior angles (360/number of sides) and using loops to automate shape creation with customizable colors.
