button, and you want to create the new button without overwriting the previous button, you write add=True.

The first is a function with two parameters. The onscreenclick function takes three parameters. The if statement in there basically takes the x,y variables that are its parameters, and checks whether they are between two numbers, in this case, coordinates. To explain this, button is just a function, it has nothing to do with an actual button yet. Turtle.onscreenclick(button, 1, add=False) To create a simple button, there might be other ways, but this is how I do it. Note that Turtle.onclick() is different than Screen().onclick - one only happens when clicking on a specific turtle instance whereas the other happens when clicking anywhere on the screen. If you want to work within standalone turtle, I recommend using a turtle as a button as they can be coerced into any shape and/or color and have individual onclick event handlers so you don't have to figure out where the user clicked on the screen: from turtle import Screen, Turtleīutton.write('Click me!', align='center', font=FONT)īty(150 + CURSOR_SIZE + FONT_SIZE)

You can embed turtle in tkinter, as suggests in his comment, using tkinter buttons to control your turtle canvas.
