How do I change the turtle‘s speed?

In Python’s Turtle graphics module, you can control the speed of the turtle with the speed() method. This method takes an optional argument that can be a number or one of the following predefined constants:

• 0 : fastest (no animation)
• 1 : normal speed (default)
• 2 to 10 : slower speeds, where 10 is the slowest

Here’s an example of how to set the speed of the turtle:

import turtle

# Create the screen and turtle
screen = turtle.Screen()
pen = turtle.Turtle()

# Set the turtle's speed to the slowest
pen.speed(10)

# Draw a square with the slow turtle
for _ in range(4):
    pen.forward(100)
    pen.right(90)

# Hide the turtle and keep the window open
pen.hideturtle()
screen.mainloop()

In this example, the turtle’s speed is set to 10, which is the slowest speed. You can adjust the speed to any number between 0 and 10, or use one of the predefined constants to change how fast the turtle moves while drawing.

If you want to speed up the turtle, you can set the speed to 0, which will make the turtle move to each position instantly without drawing the lines:

pen.speed(0)  # Fastest speed, no animation

Adjust the speed according to your needs to create the desired effect in your Turtle graphics program.
