To create a circle pyramid with comments explaining each step, let’s refine this script for clarity and efficiency, while incorporating your comments directly into the code.
Here’s how you can do it, with additional improvements and comments for better understanding:
# Import the turtle module for drawing
import turtle
# Set the drawing speed to the fastest
turtle.speed(0)
# Start drawing the top circle of the pyramid
turtle.penup() # Lift the pen to move without drawing
turtle.goto(0, -50) # Move to the starting position for the top circle
turtle.pendown() # Put the pen down to start drawing
turtle.circle(50) # Draw the top circle with a radius of 50
# Move to the starting position for the second row
turtle.penup()
turtle.goto(-55, -100) # Adjust the position based on the circle size and desired spacing
turtle.pendown()
# Draws 2 circles in the middle row
for i in range(2):
turtle.circle(50)
turtle.penup()
turtle.forward(110) # Move to the next position for drawing the second circle
turtle.pendown()
# Move to the starting position for the bottom row
turtle.penup()
turtle.goto(-110, -150) # Adjust the position for the bottom row
turtle.pendown()
# Draws 3 circles in the bottom row
for i in range(3):
turtle.circle(50)
turtle.penup()
turtle.forward(110) # Move to the next position for the subsequent circle
turtle.pendown()
# To keep the window open until manually closed
turtle.done()
This code includes comments that describe what each section of the code does, making it easier to understand the process of drawing a circle pyramid. The pyramid consists of 1 circle on the top row, 2 circles in the middle row, and 3 circles on the bottom row, with appropriate positioning adjustments to center each row relative to the others. The goto
function is used to position the turtle accurately at the start of each row, improving upon the original approach for a more systematic and understandable drawing process.
