Python Turtle Country Flags 🐍 🐢

Draw many country flags with the great Python Turtle. Have fun!

If you are learning Python...

If you are learning Python, please do not simply copy/paste the source code from here because you will not really learn programming :-(... Instead, try first to do your programming homeworks & challenges then come back to have a look to what I propose here... and the most important: Have fun programming the Python Turtle 😄.

Requirements regarding this source code

There are various ways for drawing flags, hereafter my own requirements list:

• No Python external modules to avoid dependencies (PIL, svg, pygame...).
• Country flags close to original ones.
• Not "too complex" Python code.
• Country drawing flag functions as short as possible using good and readable helpers, in order to be easily copy/paste somewhere else. Below a short example:

def flag_Bulgaria(x, y, width, height):
    horizontal_strips(x, y, width, height, 'white', '#00966E', '#D62612')

def flag_China(x, y, width, height):
    rectangle_filled_color(x, y, width, height, '#DE2910')
    bsw = width * 19 / 100 # big star width
    ssw = bsw / 3          # small star width
    ct.color('#FFDE00')
    five_pointed_star_filled(x + width * 1/6, y - height * 1/4, bsw)
    five_pointed_star_filled(x + width * 1/3, y - height * 1/10, ssw, 360-23)
    five_pointed_star_filled(x + width * 2/5, y - height * 1/5, ssw, 360-46)
    five_pointed_star_filled(x + width * 2/5, y - height * 7/20, ssw, 360-70)
    five_pointed_star_filled(x + width * 1/3, y - height * 9/20, ssw, 360-21)
...
# Draw flags (simple function calls)
flag_Bulgaria(0, 0, 100, 67)
flag_China(0, 100, 100, 67)
...

Of course, another solution could be to download Wikipedia svg flags and to draw them with a Python svg library but it was not the goal here 😄.
