How can I get current angle of an object in turtle library of Python?

I am trying use tiltangle, hovewer I cannot understand how it works exactly. Everytime I run following code, it gives 122.0, I do not know how can I deal with it:

def collide(self):
    initial_angle = self.tiltangle()
    self.right(initial_angle + 90)

Solution

  • You can refer to this docs.

    Let's take the following description.

    Imagine a robotic turtle starting at (0, 0) in the x-y plane. After an import turtle, give it the command turtle.forward(15), and it moves (on-screen!) 15 pixels in the direction it is facing, drawing a line as it moves. Give it the command turtle.right(25), and it rotates in-place 25 degrees clockwise.

    That means, if you get the value of 122.0 every single time, it is because your initial_angle value is 32.0.

    So, the value changes depending on the side of an angle. If you change the script like:

    self.left(initial_angle + 90)

    Then, you would get the value of 58.0.
