Simple Python Turtle Graphic and Code: Deformed Triangles
A circular arrangement of deformed triangles revealing a happy sun. A deformed triangle here is created by making each of its three sides wave-ish with two arcs. The Python Turtle code -- short with 25 lines only -- allows changing the number, size, and color of deformed triangles.
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 :)

t.circle(-(radius_of_arcs_in_triangle_side), 120) #For second arc of side; negative radius for clockwise drawing
t.right(120) #Turtle direction to draw next triangle side
