Hypocycloid is a curve that is formed by tracing a fixed point on the circle that is rolling inside a larger circle. Animate this tracing steps with Python Turtle. Also experiment with different ratios between the smaller circle and the larger one.
The following is the whole animation process with the ratio value 6/13.

Hypotrochoid
Given three ordered points (red, green, blue) of a triangle, the orientation of the triangle is clockwise if a right turn happens from the first line (red to green) to
Use Python and Turtle and Random library to draw the 50 random isosceles triangles as shown in the following figure. Hints: Make a function that draws isosceles triangle given the
Epitrochoid to Epicycloid is similar to Hypotrochoid to Hypocycloid. Epitrochoid is a generalization of Epicycloid where the tracking point can lie inside or outside the rolling circle. Animate the drawing
