Turtle Maze

Myna Mallipeddi on
This Maze project was the hardest Python work I did. I figured out how to do the beginning, but Mr. Dembo helped me with the rest of the code. I finally figured out how to code. It depends on the maze. I changed the color of my arrow so that I don’t get confused with the maze. Then I put the coordinates of where it should start, I also knew that the maze would change every time so I used r1 and t1 made sure that my code was randomized too. At the ending, I faded my arrow into a different color so that it marked when it would end. I think the hardest part of this project was understanding what to do in the first place. I started by not using the randomized blocks and it did not work because the maze always shifted. Mr. Dembo’s instruction in the beginning really helped me to understand how to solve the maze.

Holiday Turtle Post

Myna Mallipeddi on
For my Holiday Post, I made a house with a Christmas wreath. I first made the square part of the house while changing the colors s that the roof and the middle of the house are not the same color. I then added a square door with a wreath inside of it. I made a red bauble on the wreath to add to the Christmas spirit. I think the hardest part of this code was the wreath and the bauble. It was hard to make a circle perfectly and then make the circle so small. I forgot how to make a circle so I had to figure it out again. Then I decided that my drawing did not look like a holiday painting so I decided to add a Christmas tree. I made wide triangles without the middle of each of them. I then stacked them all on top of each other. I really like making holiday images because Christmas is my favorite holiday. And Winter is my favorite season. I had a lot of fun while making this code.

My Python Turtle Race

Myna Mallipeddi on
This is my first Python post on this blog about a computer program called “Turtle Race” using Python. I learned through out my coding that Python language is very easy to understand compared to some other coding languages. I thoroughly enjoyed coding “Turtle Race” using Python.
This is about a race between four turtles. Since this is a race, I coded in a way so that every time there could be a random winner between four turtles.
For this race, I first imported turtle and then I imported a random block so that the same turtle does not win every time. As more than one turtle is needed for any race, I imported total 4 turtles with different names. To represent four different turtles, I used the “pen color” block so that they can all be different colors and named each one after a different animal.
After that I moved them to a starting line and gave them each a coordinate point as a starting point. To make sure that the same turtle does not win every time, I added a random block so that it shakes up the winners. I also added a number generator so that the code can pick how far each turtle goes. You have to import turtle for it to work or else it will not have a starting point for the code. Some challenges I had in this project was assigning the coordinate points for the turtle’s because there was no grid or coordinate plane.
Repl.it( The Website I used) is very easy to understand if you know the basics of Python, I find it to be very entertaining.
Here is a link to take you to the race fell free to put it into your browser: https://repl.it/@MynaMallipeddi/Project 10#main.py

My Inspired Art

Myna Mallipeddi on
For my inspired artwork, I chose the example of Peaks. The original picture was of blue mountains and the sun on the side of the picture. I changed It so that the mountains were wider, the colorful sun was peaking overhead the mountains and there was a waterfall that is coming down the mountains. My mountains are different than the original picture they are wider and are different colors. I added a waterfall so it looked more original than what I started with. I made the triangles for the mountains and then I turned on the grid and put in the set x,y coordinate block and I just played with the numbers until I got it right. I then used the action blocks to write the code for my sun, waterfall, and the Mountain because I did not want the code to be very long. I think I improved more than my last time project which was the make your name in code project. I used different blocks that I have never used before for example the XY coordinate block and the set color and set pen size blocks. Here is the link that will take you to my code: https://turtle.sugarlabs.org/. You can just paste it into an open tab and it will take you to my blog.

My name in code

Myna Mallipeddi on

I found this project to be very hard at first I did not understand how to make the lines go at an angle so I experimented with the blocks and then I found out that the right and left blocks are used as angles so then I figured out that forward and back were used on top of the right and left blocks so after that I started to experiment with the numbers I tried the reset button every time I added a new block. After that, I figured out how to add spaces with the pen up
and down blocks to as a finishing touch for the end of my name, I added a circle using an action block and an arc block I took the code and put it in the action block while I used the short cut in my code so that it does not become any longer. I think if I do this project over again I will do a better job. I am happy with what I have now.

All about me

Hi, my name is Myna I am a 7th grader at Quest Academy. My favorite subject in school is Gym, Math, and LA/SS. Outside of school, I go to singing classes ( I take Indian classical music and I used to do choir ) and dance classes. I play the Piano and Violin. My favorite band is BTS and my favorite song by them is called Dionysis

Here is a link to let you learn more about BTS ( Intro to BTS )

My favorite type of music is K-pop and pop. When I am frustrated I do yoga to be peaceful. The types of food I like are Soups and Salads my favorite food is Ceaser salad with croutons. Because I like to be healthy and I honestly like Healthy food more than Junk food. My hobbies are Drawing( I am soon going to set up a store on Etsy to sell all my drawings and then donate the money to a shelter), Crocheting, Dancing, and singing. Fun facts about me are I have creaky bones and I sprained my wrists and ankles many times. When I grow up I want to go to the Perleman School of Pennsylvania to become a Pediatrician. I want to become the best version of myself that I can be.

My Turtle Art Project

Myna Mallipeddi on

My Turtle Art Project makes a nonagon even though the product looks simple the code was very complex because I was beginning to find my way around the website. It took me a long time to figure out how to code the right numbers and all that because this was my first time doing turtle art. But now I feel more comfortable with coding and I’m happy about that. I know how to feel comfortable around turtle art. I first used the store in block to set up how big I want my nonagon. Then made it turn right 40 degrees so that it would be closer to a circle than a square. After that, I repeated this action once and then added another store in the block to change the distance for my shape. I then repeated the code 11 times and I got the shape I wanted. I learned a lot from this project and turtle.org I learned that you can use shortcuts in code and you don’t always need it to belong.
