Draw Chess Board In Python Turtle

Published February 2, 2024 by Jarvis Silva

In this tutorial I will show you how to draw chess board in python using the built in turtle module so follow along till the end.

Turtle module in python provides us with the tools to create graphics, illustrations and more so now let’s draw a chess board.

Python Code To Draw A Chess Board

import turtle  
   
# create screen object 
sc = turtle.Screen() 
   
# create turtle object 
pen = turtle.Turtle() 
   
# method to draw square 
def draw(): 
   
  for i in range(4): 
    pen.forward(30) 
    pen.left(90) 
   
  pen.forward(30) 
   
  
     
# Driver Code 
if __name__ == "__main__" : 
      
    # set screen 
    sc.setup(600, 600) 
       
    # set turtle object speed 
    pen.speed(100) 
       
    # loops for board 
    for i in range(8): 
       
      # not ready to draw 
      pen.up() 
       
      # set position for every row 
      pen.setpos(0, 30 * i) 
       
      # ready to draw 
      pen.down() 
       
      # row 
      for j in range(8): 
       
        # conditions for alternative color 
        if (i + j)% 2 == 0: 
          col ='black'
       
        else: 
          col ='white'
       
        # fill with given color 
        pen.fillcolor(col) 
       
        # start filling with colour 
        pen.begin_fill() 
       
        # call method 
        draw() 
        # stop filling 
        pen.end_fill() 
       
    # hide the turtle 
    pen.hideturtle() 
       
turtle.done()

Output

So as you can see we successfully drawn a chess board using python, I hope you were able to follow along and create this program.
