Turtle Game - 100 points

Create a Python program that enables the user to play a simple game. At the start of the game, a 50 by 50 solid black square should be drawn at a random location on the board and the user’s turtle should be visible at coordinate (0, 0). The user should be able to control the turtle by using the four arrow keys. Each arrow key should move the turtle 25 pixels forward in the direction of the arrow. When the turtle enters the 50 by 50 black square, the game is won. When the game is won, a message should be printed on the turtle screen telling the user how many moves it took to win.

Requirements and Grading

• 20 points - A 50 by 50 solid black square (10 points) appears randomly somewhere on the turtle screen (10 points).
• 20 points - Each arrow key works as intended (5 points each).
• 10 points - While the game is being played, the position of the user’s turtle appears, but its trail to get there does not.
• 10 points - The game ends when the turtle enters the black solid square.
• 20 points - When the game ends, a message stating the correct number of moves that were made (10 points) appears on the screen (10 points).
• 10 points - The Python code is properly commented, easy to understand, and doesn’t contain significant redundancies.
• 10 points - Enhance the game in some way. Explain your enhancement in your header comment box.

Submission

Place the solution in a file named game_[firstname].py and submit it in the Portal no later than 12:45 PM on Thursday, February 9.
