Drawing Houses

Practice writing and calling functions that take parameters by making the turtle draw a row of houses.

1. Move the turtle to the left side of the window near the bottom.

2. Draw ONE flat-topped house with height=100 and green grass after it.

3. Put the code that drew the house into a function called draw_house HINT: Only the code that draws one house should go in this function.

4. Using the function you just created, draw 10 houses. HINT: Use a for loop.

5. Run the code to make sure it works before proceeding.

6. Now change the draw_house function to take height as a parameter.

7. Use random numbers to draw 9 houses of different heights.

8. Run the code to make sure it works before proceeding.

9. Make the draw_house function’s height input a string and set the height of the house based on the following: “small” = 60 “medium” = 120 “large” = 250

10. Make two new functions that draw different shaped roofs (JUST the roof part): draw_pointy_roof, draw_flat_roof

11. By calling the correct “roof” function, make large houses have flat roofs and all the others have pointy roofs.

Here is how to get random numbers:
