Simple Python Turtle Graphic and Code: Simple Mandala 2
A star mandala enhanced with purplish bands and snaky lines. This graphic utilizes repeating shapes to keep the code short.
Feel free to copy the basic Python Turtle code that is given below. Don't hesitate to ask questions about the code if you have any. Enjoy! Please comment, like, or subscribe :)
Incidentally, for manually colorable graphics and variations, please visit my author url at https://www.amazon.com/author/basicpy...
