- [Instructor] Unfortunately, GitHub Codespaces doesn't allow you to run Python turtle graphics. Therefore, in order to run the code for in this chapter, you're going to have to have a local installation of Python, which can easily be got from python.org. This chapter is going to cover Python turtle graphics as it pertains to object oriented programming. Now, I think the best way to start this is to show you some of what turtle graphics can do if you're not already familiar with it. And even if you are already familiar with it, it's possible you're not aware of its full capacity.
