Challenges

Remix it, then try these. Each one is a bit harder than the last.

  1. Change the character the banner is drawn with.
  2. Design your own letters in font.py (maybe lowercase, or emoji-sized).
  3. Zoom into the Mandelbrot set by changing the x and y ranges.
  4. Draw a checkerboard or a spiral.
  5. Make the banner print in a rainbow of different characters, one per letter.
