Introduction 🎨

This Python script utilizes the Turtle module to create a stunning Hirst-inspired painting. Let's embark on your artistic coding journey! 🚀

Prerequisites 🛠️

Before you dive in, make sure you have Python installed on your machine. If not, you can download it here.

Installation 🐢

You'll need the turtle module to run this script. Install it using:

pip install PythonTurtle

Running the Script ▶️

1. Open the script in your favorite Python environment.
2. Run the script. This will launch the Turtle graphics window.

Customizing Your Painting 🎨

The script uses a predefined color_list variable containing RGB tuples. Feel free to customize this list to create your unique color palette. 🌈

Understanding the Code 🤓

Let's break down the script:

import turtle as turtle_module
import random

# ... (other imports)

turtle_module.colormode(255)
myrtle = turtle_module.Turtle()
myrtle.speed("fastest")
myrtle.penup()
myrtle.hideturtle()

color_list = [(202, 164, 109), (238, 240, 245), ... , (176, 192, 209)]

# ... (more code)

screen = turtle_module.Screen()
screen.exitonclick()

• colormode(255): Configures Turtle to use RGB values ranging from 0 to 255.
• Turtle(): Creates a Turtle object named myrtle.
• speed("fastest"): Sets the drawing speed to the fastest.
• penup(): Lifts the pen, so no drawing occurs when moving.
• hideturtle(): Hides the turtle cursor.

Running the Painting Loop 🔄

The script uses a loop to draw dots on the canvas:

for dot_count in range(1, number_of_dots + 1):
    myrtle.dot(20, random.choice(color_list))
    myrtle.forward(50)

    if dot_count % 10 == 0:
        # ... (code for changing direction and position)

Exploring Your Art 🌌

The script will create a unique Hirst-inspired artwork. Experiment with colors and settings to make it your own! Enjoy the creative process! 🎉
