Turtle Graphics

This project implements a Turtle Graphics simulation using the Qt framework. Turtle Graphics allows users to create visual patterns and designs by controlling a "turtle" that moves around the screen, leaving a trail as it goes. This application lets users command the turtle to move, turn, change color of the trail and play a little game.

Features

• Interactive Controls: Move the turtle with basic commands like forward and turn.
• GUI Integration: Built with Qt's QGraphicsView or QGraphicsScene for smooth, responsive graphics.
• More coming soon in 2025

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install Qt (5.x or later).
3. Build and run the project using Qt Creator or the command line.

Example Commands

• Forward: Move the turtle forward by a specified number of steps.
• Turn: Rotate the turtle a specified angle.
• Pen Up: Stop drawing the trail
• Pen Down: Continue drawing the trail
• Color(R,G,B) Change color of the trail
