Drawing a Five-Pointed Star with Python Turtle

This article shares a simple Python example that draws a red five‑pointed star using the turtle graphics library. It explains each step, including setting the fill color, beginning the fill, looping five times to move forward and turn, and completing the fill.

Below is the full code used to generate the star:

<code>import turtle    # 导入turtle库包

turtle.fillcolor("red")       # 填充颜色
turtle.begin_fill()              # 开始画，类似起笔

count = 1                        # 计时器，用于计录次数

while count <= 5:                # 控制绘制次数
    turtle.forward(100)       # 画笔绘制的方向，向前移动指定的距离
    turtle.right(144)       # 向右转144度
    count += 1                   # 循环绘制

turtle.end_fill()                # 完成填充图片的绘制。
</code>

The resulting image is a red star, as shown in the accompanying GIF. Readers are encouraged to try the code, modify parameters, and explore further turtle graphics techniques.
