Alphabet Tracer

Inspiration

As someone with bad handwriting, I've always wanted to work on improving my penmanship. However, it was hard to find the motivation to set aside time to practice.

What it does

Alphabet Tracer draws out the alphabet with a turtle so that kids (and adults) are drawn to trace the turtle. Thus, tracing the alphabet feels like a game instead of a chore.

How we built it

Alphabet Tracer was built using Python's Turtle Graphics.

Challenges we ran into

It took some time to figure out how to keep the turtle from moving on to the next letter. There's also a random arrow in the middle of the screen.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Three letters have been successfully implemented.

What we learned

Reading documentation can be more helpful than Googling the problem.

What's next for Alphabet Tracer

Alphabet Tracer will be developed into an app that takes into account whether the user is tracing correctly and provide feedback.
