COMP 141: Project 3

Potato Heads

In this project, you will re-create this experience with functions by designing a program that creates a potato model with eyes, hair, and a mouth. Once everyone has completed the project, we will combine all the projects together to make potatoes that use features from multiple people's code at once.

All of the potatoes are represented by circles of radius 150. Your job is to write functions that draw eyes, hair, and mouth on a potato. However, your functions must be designed so that the potato can be placed anywhere on the screen --- to that end, your functions should all take two parameters called centerx and centery, which represent the center of the potato-circle where the facial features should be drawn. In other words, each of your functions must calculate the correct placement of the facial features based on the centerx and centery parameters.

What you need to do

• Start with the Python code below. Copy it into a new file and save it as potato_yourLastName_yourFirstName.py.
• Also download simplegraphics.py and cs1graphics.py and save them to the same folder as your potato program code.
• You will notice that the main() function in your program is already written for you. It is set up to draw two identical potatoes side by side. Do not modify anything inside of main()!
• Edit the three drawing functions for eyes, mouth, and hair so that they draw the appropriate facial features on the potato. Each function should call appropriate drawing functions (from the CS 141 Graphics Library) to draw the facial features. The facial features can be embellished with other appropriate things in that area of the face. For instance, you may also draw a nose in your mouth function, or ears or a hat in the hair function.
• The functions you write should only draw on a single potato at time. Even though there are two potatoes in the output, you will notice that main() takes care of calling your functions twice, with different centerx's and centery's each time, resulting in twin potatoes.
