How this works

turtle.write draws text at wherever the turtle is standing. Before writing, we move to a good position (left of center) with setpos, and lift the pen with penup so we don't leave a trail behind us.

Your turn — try these

  • 1Change the color to `"crimson"` or `"navy"`. Try any color name.
  • 2Add a second line below with your favorite food or hobby.
  • 3Wrap the name in stars — write `f"★ {name} ★"` instead.
