In a previous Hypotrochoid project, you drew curves with two circles with one rolling inside the other. Expand the project by adding one more layer of circles. The following is some of the curves generated by three circle Hypotrochoid:
Thanks to Torry for contributing idea to this project.
Generate a random polygon with many sides and randomly drop point on the screen. If the point falls inside the polygon color it in red, otherwise color it in blue.
You can use Ray Casting Algorithm to determine if a point is inside a polygon. You may also want to know how to detect if two lines intersect with these two projects: Random Intersecting Lines and Two Randomly Moving Intersecting Lines.
Simulate the explosion effect with Python Turtle.
Continuing from previous Accelerating and Rotating Spaceship project, make the spaceship fire the bullets. Each bullet have limited range and there should be some time gap between the firings so that spaceship won’t destroy asteroids too easily in the future game. You may need to use list structure in Python to store the bullets.
Continuing from the rotating spaceship project, allow the spaceship to accelerate by using the ‘up’ arrow key. Also show the rocket fuel when the thrust happens. When the spaceship goes out of the screen, wrap it around on the opposite side of the screen. Also set the maximum speed for the spaceship.
What’s next?
Firing, Accelerating, and Rotating Spaceship
Draw a similar spaceship as in the Asteroids game. Use Turtle’s keyboard event to rotate the spaceship left or right.
What’s Next?
Accelerating and Rotating Spaceship
Continuing from Moving Asteroid in Space project, add rotation to the asteroid.
Continue from Random Asteroids in Space project to animate the moving asteroid. Note that the asteroid wraps around when it is moving out of screen and it is possible that the asteroid is drawn in two or three different parts of the screen.
What’s next?
Moving and Rotating Asteroid in Space
Continue from Random Asteroids project to draw several random asteroids in space.
What’s next?
Moving Asteroid in Space
Randomize the regular Dodecagon to draw random asteroids.
