Simple Turtle Graphics

Write code like this

#include "Turtle.h"
/**
 * Sample turtle graphics program
 */
using namespace turtle;
int main() {
    lt(90);     // 90 degree left turn
    fd(50);     // 50 pixel move forward
    rt(90);     // 90 degree right turn
    bk(25);     // 25 pixel move backwards
    fd(50);     // 50 pixel move forward
    sleep_for(1s);
    ht();       // hide turtle. (Other commands: st = show turtle, pu = pen up, pd = pen down)
    sleep_for(3s);
    return 0;
}

How to build the software

• After setting up C++17 threads, and GTK-- for your system (see applicable section below for Windows or Debian),
• either run command line

g++ main.cpp -pthread -std=c++17 -o turtle `pkg-config gtkmm-3.0 --cflags --libs`

• or compile using CLion if you have it installed.

Instructions to set up for Windows and Debian based Linux (MX Linux, Ubuntu Linux, Linux Mint, etc.) are provided below.

Setting up Windows

• Install 64-bit MSys2 from http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64 (Choose the highest numbered msys2-x86_64*.exe file)
• In the msys2 command window, run the command:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-gtkmm3 pkg-config gcc gdb make 

• Add to your path C:\msys64\mingw64\bin and then compile

Setting up Debian based Linux

• Install GTK-- development tools

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev libgtkmm-3.0-dev build-essential

• And then compile
