2-dimensional random walk simulator, draws the steps on a canvas












0












$begingroup$


Here's what I came up with for a 2-dimensional random walk exercise. It takes a number of steps as input and iterates through them, while drawing every step as a line on the canvas. The direction is randomized.



#rndwalk.py -- Simulates a 2-Dimensional random walk

from random import random
import math
from graphics import *


def intro():
print("nThis program simulates n steps on a 2-dimensional random walk")
print("and outputs the end point.")

def open_window():
win = GraphWin("2-Dimensional random walk", 500, 500)
win.setCoords(-100, -100, 100, 100)
win.setBackground("white")
return win

def walk_n_steps(steps, win):
point_x = 0
point_y = 0
for step in range(steps):
x_new, y_new = walk_one_step(point_x, point_y)
draw_line(win, point_x, point_y, x_new, y_new)
point_x, point_y = x_new, y_new
return point_x, point_y

def draw_line(win, point_x, point_y, x_new, y_new):
step = Line(Point(point_x, point_y), Point(x_new, y_new))
step.setWidth(2)
step.setFill("black")
step.draw(win)

def walk_one_step(point_x, point_y):
angle = random() * 2 * math.pi
point_x = point_x + math.cos(angle)
point_y = point_y + math.sin(angle)
return point_x, point_y

def output(steps, point_x, point_y):
print("nSteps simulated: {}".format(steps))
print("Start point: 0, 0")
print("End point: {}, {}n".format(point_x, point_y))

def main():
intro()
win = open_window()
steps = int(input("How many steps do you want to simulate? >> "))
point_x, point_y = walk_n_steps(steps, win)
output(steps, point_x, point_y)
win.getMouse()

if __name__ == "__main__": main()


For anyone who wants to test it, here's the graphics module I'm using. Note that it's necessary to use from graphics import *, it won't work any other way. That's how the author of the book I'm using intended.



# graphics.py
"""Simple object oriented graphics library

The library is designed to make it very easy for novice programmers to
experiment with computer graphics in an object oriented fashion. It is
written by John Zelle for use with the book "Python Programming: An
Introduction to Computer Science" (Franklin, Beedle & Associates).

LICENSE: This is open-source software released under the terms of the
GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html).

PLATFORMS: The package is a wrapper around Tkinter and should run on
any platform where Tkinter is available.

INSTALLATION: Put this file somewhere where Python can see it.

OVERVIEW: There are two kinds of objects in the library. The GraphWin
class implements a window where drawing can be done and various
GraphicsObjects are provided that can be drawn into a GraphWin. As a
simple example, here is a complete program to draw a circle of radius
10 centered in a 100x100 window:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
from graphics import *

def main():
win = GraphWin("My Circle", 100, 100)
c = Circle(Point(50,50), 10)
c.draw(win)
win.getMouse() # Pause to view result
win.close() # Close window when done

main()
--------------------------------------------------------------------
GraphWin objects support coordinate transformation through the
setCoords method and mouse and keyboard interaction methods.

The library provides the following graphical objects:
Point
Line
Circle
Oval
Rectangle
Polygon
Text
Entry (for text-based input)
Image

Various attributes of graphical objects can be set such as
outline-color, fill-color and line-width. Graphical objects also
support moving and hiding for animation effects.

The library also provides a very simple class for pixel-based image
manipulation, Pixmap. A pixmap can be loaded from a file and displayed
using an Image object. Both getPixel and setPixel methods are provided
for manipulating the image.

DOCUMENTATION: For complete documentation, see Chapter 4 of "Python
Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science" by John Zelle,
published by Franklin, Beedle & Associates. Also see
http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python for a quick reference"""

__version__ = "5.0"

# Version 5 8/26/2016
# * update at bottom to fix MacOS issue causing askopenfile() to hang
# * update takes an optional parameter specifying update rate
# * Entry objects get focus when drawn
# * __repr_ for all objects
# * fixed offset problem in window, made canvas borderless

# Version 4.3 4/25/2014
# * Fixed Image getPixel to work with Python 3.4, TK 8.6 (tuple type handling)
# * Added interactive keyboard input (getKey and checkKey) to GraphWin
# * Modified setCoords to cause redraw of current objects, thus
# changing the view. This supports scrolling around via setCoords.
#
# Version 4.2 5/26/2011
# * Modified Image to allow multiple undraws like other GraphicsObjects
# Version 4.1 12/29/2009
# * Merged Pixmap and Image class. Old Pixmap removed, use Image.
# Version 4.0.1 10/08/2009
# * Modified the autoflush on GraphWin to default to True
# * Autoflush check on close, setBackground
# * Fixed getMouse to flush pending clicks at entry
# Version 4.0 08/2009
# * Reverted to non-threaded version. The advantages (robustness,
# efficiency, ability to use with other Tk code, etc.) outweigh
# the disadvantage that interactive use with IDLE is slightly more
# cumbersome.
# * Modified to run in either Python 2.x or 3.x (same file).
# * Added Image.getPixmap()
# * Added update() -- stand alone function to cause any pending
# graphics changes to display.
#
# Version 3.4 10/16/07
# Fixed GraphicsError to avoid "exploded" error messages.
# Version 3.3 8/8/06
# Added checkMouse method to GraphWin
# Version 3.2.3
# Fixed error in Polygon init spotted by Andrew Harrington
# Fixed improper threading in Image constructor
# Version 3.2.2 5/30/05
# Cleaned up handling of exceptions in Tk thread. The graphics package
# now raises an exception if attempt is made to communicate with
# a dead Tk thread.
# Version 3.2.1 5/22/05
# Added shutdown function for tk thread to eliminate race-condition
# error "chatter" when main thread terminates
# Renamed various private globals with _
# Version 3.2 5/4/05
# Added Pixmap object for simple image manipulation.
# Version 3.1 4/13/05
# Improved the Tk thread communication so that most Tk calls
# do not have to wait for synchonization with the Tk thread.
# (see _tkCall and _tkExec)
# Version 3.0 12/30/04
# Implemented Tk event loop in separate thread. Should now work
# interactively with IDLE. Undocumented autoflush feature is
# no longer necessary. Its default is now False (off). It may
# be removed in a future version.
# Better handling of errors regarding operations on windows that
# have been closed.
# Addition of an isClosed method to GraphWindow class.

# Version 2.2 8/26/04
# Fixed cloning bug reported by Joseph Oldham.
# Now implements deep copy of config info.
# Version 2.1 1/15/04
# Added autoflush option to GraphWin. When True (default) updates on
# the window are done after each action. This makes some graphics
# intensive programs sluggish. Turning off autoflush causes updates
# to happen during idle periods or when flush is called.
# Version 2.0
# Updated Documentation
# Made Polygon accept a list of Points in constructor
# Made all drawing functions call TK update for easier animations
# and to make the overall package work better with
# Python 2.3 and IDLE 1.0 under Windows (still some issues).
# Removed vestigial turtle graphics.
# Added ability to configure font for Entry objects (analogous to Text)
# Added setTextColor for Text as an alias of setFill
# Changed to class-style exceptions
# Fixed cloning of Text objects

# Version 1.6
# Fixed Entry so StringVar uses _root as master, solves weird
# interaction with shell in Idle
# Fixed bug in setCoords. X and Y coordinates can increase in
# "non-intuitive" direction.
# Tweaked wm_protocol so window is not resizable and kill box closes.

# Version 1.5
# Fixed bug in Entry. Can now define entry before creating a
# GraphWin. All GraphWins are now toplevel windows and share
# a fixed root (called _root).

# Version 1.4
# Fixed Garbage collection of Tkinter images bug.
# Added ability to set text atttributes.
# Added Entry boxes.

    Here's what I came up with for a 2-dimensional random walk exercise. It takes a number of steps as input and iterates through them, while drawing every step as a line on the canvas. The direction is randomized.



    #rndwalk.py -- Simulates a 2-Dimensional random walk

    from random import random
    import math
    from graphics import *


    def intro():
    print("nThis program simulates n steps on a 2-dimensional random walk")
    print("and outputs the end point.")

    def open_window():
    win = GraphWin("2-Dimensional random walk", 500, 500)
    win.setCoords(-100, -100, 100, 100)
    win.setBackground("white")
    return win

    def walk_n_steps(steps, win):
    point_x = 0
    point_y = 0
    for step in range(steps):
    x_new, y_new = walk_one_step(point_x, point_y)
    draw_line(win, point_x, point_y, x_new, y_new)
    point_x, point_y = x_new, y_new
    return point_x, point_y

    def draw_line(win, point_x, point_y, x_new, y_new):
    step = Line(Point(point_x, point_y), Point(x_new, y_new))
    step.setWidth(2)
    step.setFill("black")
    step.draw(win)

    def walk_one_step(point_x, point_y):
    angle = random() * 2 * math.pi
    point_x = point_x + math.cos(angle)
    point_y = point_y + math.sin(angle)
    return point_x, point_y

    def output(steps, point_x, point_y):
    print("nSteps simulated: {}".format(steps))
    print("Start point: 0, 0")
    print("End point: {}, {}n".format(point_x, point_y))

    def main():
    intro()
    win = open_window()
    steps = int(input("How many steps do you want to simulate? >> "))
    point_x, point_y = walk_n_steps(steps, win)
    output(steps, point_x, point_y)
    win.getMouse()

    if __name__ == "__main__": main()


    For anyone who wants to test it, here's the graphics module I'm using. Note that it's necessary to use from graphics import *, it won't work any other way. That's how the author of the book I'm using intended.



    # graphics.py
    """Simple object oriented graphics library

    The library is designed to make it very easy for novice programmers to
    experiment with computer graphics in an object oriented fashion. It is
    written by John Zelle for use with the book "Python Programming: An
    Introduction to Computer Science" (Franklin, Beedle & Associates).

    LICENSE: This is open-source software released under the terms of the
    GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html).

    PLATFORMS: The package is a wrapper around Tkinter and should run on
    any platform where Tkinter is available.

    INSTALLATION: Put this file somewhere where Python can see it.

    OVERVIEW: There are two kinds of objects in the library. The GraphWin
    class implements a window where drawing can be done and various
    GraphicsObjects are provided that can be drawn into a GraphWin. As a
    simple example, here is a complete program to draw a circle of radius
    10 centered in a 100x100 window:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    from graphics import *

    def main():
    win = GraphWin("My Circle", 100, 100)
    c = Circle(Point(50,50), 10)
    c.draw(win)
    win.getMouse() # Pause to view result
    win.close() # Close window when done

    main()
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    GraphWin objects support coordinate transformation through the
    setCoords method and mouse and keyboard interaction methods.

    The library provides the following graphical objects:
    Point
    Line
    Circle
    Oval
    Rectangle
    Polygon
    Text
    Entry (for text-based input)
    Image

    Various attributes of graphical objects can be set such as
    outline-color, fill-color and line-width. Graphical objects also
    support moving and hiding for animation effects.

    The library also provides a very simple class for pixel-based image
    manipulation, Pixmap. A pixmap can be loaded from a file and displayed
    using an Image object. Both getPixel and setPixel methods are provided
    for manipulating the image.

    DOCUMENTATION: For complete documentation, see Chapter 4 of "Python
    Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science" by John Zelle,
    published by Franklin, Beedle & Associates. Also see
    http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python for a quick reference"""

    __version__ = "5.0"

    # Version 5 8/26/2016
    # * update at bottom to fix MacOS issue causing askopenfile() to hang
    # * update takes an optional parameter specifying update rate
    # * Entry objects get focus when drawn
    # * __repr_ for all objects
    # * fixed offset problem in window, made canvas borderless

    # Version 4.3 4/25/2014
    # * Fixed Image getPixel to work with Python 3.4, TK 8.6 (tuple type handling)
    # * Added interactive keyboard input (getKey and checkKey) to GraphWin
    # * Modified setCoords to cause redraw of current objects, thus
    # changing the view. This supports scrolling around via setCoords.
    #
    # Version 4.2 5/26/2011
    # * Modified Image to allow multiple undraws like other GraphicsObjects
    # Version 4.1 12/29/2009
    # * Merged Pixmap and Image class. Old Pixmap removed, use Image.
    # Version 4.0.1 10/08/2009
    # * Modified the autoflush on GraphWin to default to True
    # * Autoflush check on close, setBackground
    # * Fixed getMouse to flush pending clicks at entry
    # Version 4.0 08/2009
    # * Reverted to non-threaded version. The advantages (robustness,
    # efficiency, ability to use with other Tk code, etc.) outweigh
    # the disadvantage that interactive use with IDLE is slightly more
    # cumbersome.
    # * Modified to run in either Python 2.x or 3.x (same file).
    # * Added Image.getPixmap()
    # * Added update() -- stand alone function to cause any pending
    # graphics changes to display.
    #
    # Version 3.4 10/16/07
    # Fixed GraphicsError to avoid "exploded" error messages.
    # Version 3.3 8/8/06
    # Added checkMouse method to GraphWin
    # Version 3.2.3
    # Fixed error in Polygon init spotted by Andrew Harrington
    # Fixed improper threading in Image constructor
    # Version 3.2.2 5/30/05
    # Cleaned up handling of exceptions in Tk thread. The graphics package
    # now raises an exception if attempt is made to communicate with
    # a dead Tk thread.
    # Version 3.2.1 5/22/05
    # Added shutdown function for tk thread to eliminate race-condition
    # error "chatter" when main thread terminates
    # Renamed various private globals with _
    # Version 3.2 5/4/05
    # Added Pixmap object for simple image manipulation.
    # Version 3.1 4/13/05
    # Improved the Tk thread communication so that most Tk calls
    # do not have to wait for synchonization with the Tk thread.
    # (see _tkCall and _tkExec)
    # Version 3.0 12/30/04
    # Implemented Tk event loop in separate thread. Should now work
    # interactively with IDLE. Undocumented autoflush feature is
    # no longer necessary. Its default is now False (off). It may
    # be removed in a future version.
    # Better handling of errors regarding operations on windows that
    # have been closed.
    # Addition of an isClosed method to GraphWindow class.

    # Version 2.2 8/26/04
    # Fixed cloning bug reported by Joseph Oldham.
    # Now implements deep copy of config info.
    # Version 2.1 1/15/04
    # Added autoflush option to GraphWin. When True (default) updates on
    # the window are done after each action. This makes some graphics
    # intensive programs sluggish. Turning off autoflush causes updates
    # to happen during idle periods or when flush is called.
    # Version 2.0
    # Updated Documentation
    # Made Polygon accept a list of Points in constructor
    # Made all drawing functions call TK update for easier animations
    # and to make the overall package work better with
    # Python 2.3 and IDLE 1.0 under Windows (still some issues).
    # Removed vestigial turtle graphics.
    # Added ability to configure font for Entry objects (analogous to Text)
    # Added setTextColor for Text as an alias of setFill
    # Changed to class-style exceptions
    # Fixed cloning of Text objects

    # Version 1.6
    # Fixed Entry so StringVar uses _root as master, solves weird
    # interaction with shell in Idle
    # Fixed bug in setCoords. X and Y coordinates can increase in
    # "non-intuitive" direction.
    # Tweaked wm_protocol so window is not resizable and kill box closes.

    # Version 1.5
    # Fixed bug in Entry. Can now define entry before creating a
    # GraphWin. All GraphWins are now toplevel windows and share
    # a fixed root (called _root).

    # Version 1.4
    # Fixed Garbage collection of Tkinter images bug.
    # Added ability to set text atttributes.
    # Added Entry boxes.

      Here's what I came up with for a 2-dimensional random walk exercise. It takes a number of steps as input and iterates through them, while drawing every step as a line on the canvas. The direction is randomized.



      #rndwalk.py -- Simulates a 2-Dimensional random walk

      from random import random
      import math
      from graphics import *


      def intro():
      print("nThis program simulates n steps on a 2-dimensional random walk")
      print("and outputs the end point.")

      def open_window():
      win = GraphWin("2-Dimensional random walk", 500, 500)
      win.setCoords(-100, -100, 100, 100)
      win.setBackground("white")
      return win

      def walk_n_steps(steps, win):
      point_x = 0
      point_y = 0
      for step in range(steps):
      x_new, y_new = walk_one_step(point_x, point_y)
      draw_line(win, point_x, point_y, x_new, y_new)
      point_x, point_y = x_new, y_new
      return point_x, point_y

      def draw_line(win, point_x, point_y, x_new, y_new):
      step = Line(Point(point_x, point_y), Point(x_new, y_new))
      step.setWidth(2)
      step.setFill("black")
      step.draw(win)

      def walk_one_step(point_x, point_y):
      angle = random() * 2 * math.pi
      point_x = point_x + math.cos(angle)
      point_y = point_y + math.sin(angle)
      return point_x, point_y

      def output(steps, point_x, point_y):
      print("nSteps simulated: {}".format(steps))
      print("Start point: 0, 0")
      print("End point: {}, {}n".format(point_x, point_y))

      def main():
      intro()
      win = open_window()
      steps = int(input("How many steps do you want to simulate? >> "))
      point_x, point_y = walk_n_steps(steps, win)
      output(steps, point_x, point_y)
      win.getMouse()

      if __name__ == "__main__": main()


      For anyone who wants to test it, here's the graphics module I'm using. Note that it's necessary to use from graphics import *, it won't work any other way. That's how the author of the book I'm using intended.



      # graphics.py
      """Simple object oriented graphics library

      The library is designed to make it very easy for novice programmers to
      experiment with computer graphics in an object oriented fashion. It is
      written by John Zelle for use with the book "Python Programming: An
      Introduction to Computer Science" (Franklin, Beedle & Associates).

      LICENSE: This is open-source software released under the terms of the
      GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html).

      PLATFORMS: The package is a wrapper around Tkinter and should run on
      any platform where Tkinter is available.

      INSTALLATION: Put this file somewhere where Python can see it.

      OVERVIEW: There are two kinds of objects in the library. The GraphWin
      class implements a window where drawing can be done and various
      GraphicsObjects are provided that can be drawn into a GraphWin. As a
      simple example, here is a complete program to draw a circle of radius
      10 centered in a 100x100 window:

      --------------------------------------------------------------------
      from graphics import *

      def main():
      win = GraphWin("My Circle", 100, 100)
      c = Circle(Point(50,50), 10)
      c.draw(win)
      win.getMouse() # Pause to view result
      win.close() # Close window when done

      main()
      --------------------------------------------------------------------
      GraphWin objects support coordinate transformation through the
      setCoords method and mouse and keyboard interaction methods.

      The library provides the following graphical objects:
      Point
      Line
      Circle
      Oval
      Rectangle
      Polygon
      Text
      Entry (for text-based input)
      Image

      Various attributes of graphical objects can be set such as
      outline-color, fill-color and line-width. Graphical objects also
      support moving and hiding for animation effects.

      The library also provides a very simple class for pixel-based image
      manipulation, Pixmap. A pixmap can be loaded from a file and displayed
      using an Image object. Both getPixel and setPixel methods are provided
      for manipulating the image.

      DOCUMENTATION: For complete documentation, see Chapter 4 of "Python
      Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science" by John Zelle,
      published by Franklin, Beedle & Associates. Also see
      http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python for a quick reference"""

      __version__ = "5.0"

      # Version 5 8/26/2016
      # * update at bottom to fix MacOS issue causing askopenfile() to hang
      # * update takes an optional parameter specifying update rate
      # * Entry objects get focus when drawn
      # * __repr_ for all objects
      # * fixed offset problem in window, made canvas borderless

      # Version 4.3 4/25/2014
      # * Fixed Image getPixel to work with Python 3.4, TK 8.6 (tuple type handling)
      # * Added interactive keyboard input (getKey and checkKey) to GraphWin
      # * Modified setCoords to cause redraw of current objects, thus
      # changing the view. This supports scrolling around via setCoords.
      #
      # Version 4.2 5/26/2011
      # * Modified Image to allow multiple undraws like other GraphicsObjects
      # Version 4.1 12/29/2009
      # * Merged Pixmap and Image class. Old Pixmap removed, use Image.
      # Version 4.0.1 10/08/2009
      # * Modified the autoflush on GraphWin to default to True
      # * Autoflush check on close, setBackground
      # * Fixed getMouse to flush pending clicks at entry
      # Version 4.0 08/2009
      # * Reverted to non-threaded version. The advantages (robustness,
      # efficiency, ability to use with other Tk code, etc.) outweigh
      # the disadvantage that interactive use with IDLE is slightly more
      # cumbersome.
      # * Modified to run in either Python 2.x or 3.x (same file).
      # * Added Image.getPixmap()
      # * Added update() -- stand alone function to cause any pending
      # graphics changes to display.
      #
      # Version 3.4 10/16/07
      # Fixed GraphicsError to avoid "exploded" error messages.
      # Version 3.3 8/8/06
      # Added checkMouse method to GraphWin
      # Version 3.2.3
      # Fixed error in Polygon init spotted by Andrew Harrington
      # Fixed improper threading in Image constructor
      # Version 3.2.2 5/30/05
      # Cleaned up handling of exceptions in Tk thread. The graphics package
      # now raises an exception if attempt is made to communicate with
      # a dead Tk thread.
      # Version 3.2.1 5/22/05
      # Added shutdown function for tk thread to eliminate race-condition
      # error "chatter" when main thread terminates
      # Renamed various private globals with _
      # Version 3.2 5/4/05
      # Added Pixmap object for simple image manipulation.
      # Version 3.1 4/13/05
      # Improved the Tk thread communication so that most Tk calls
      # do not have to wait for synchonization with the Tk thread.
      # (see _tkCall and _tkExec)
      # Version 3.0 12/30/04
      # Implemented Tk event loop in separate thread. Should now work
      # interactively with IDLE. Undocumented autoflush feature is
      # no longer necessary. Its default is now False (off). It may
      # be removed in a future version.
      # Better handling of errors regarding operations on windows that
      # have been closed.
      # Addition of an isClosed method to GraphWindow class.

      # Version 2.2 8/26/04
      # Fixed cloning bug reported by Joseph Oldham.
      # Now implements deep copy of config info.
      # Version 2.1 1/15/04
      # Added autoflush option to GraphWin. When True (default) updates on
      # the window are done after each action. This makes some graphics
      # intensive programs sluggish. Turning off autoflush causes updates
      # to happen during idle periods or when flush is called.
      # Version 2.0
      # Updated Documentation
      # Made Polygon accept a list of Points in constructor
      # Made all drawing functions call TK update for easier animations
      # and to make the overall package work better with
      # Python 2.3 and IDLE 1.0 under Windows (still some issues).
      # Removed vestigial turtle graphics.
      # Added ability to configure font for Entry objects (analogous to Text)
      # Added setTextColor for Text as an alias of setFill
      # Changed to class-style exceptions
      # Fixed cloning of Text objects

      # Version 1.6
      # Fixed Entry so StringVar uses _root as master, solves weird
      # interaction with shell in Idle
      # Fixed bug in setCoords. X and Y coordinates can increase in
      # "non-intuitive" direction.
      # Tweaked wm_protocol so window is not resizable and kill box closes.

      # Version 1.5
      # Fixed bug in Entry. Can now define entry before creating a
      # GraphWin. All GraphWins are now toplevel windows and share
      # a fixed root (called _root).

      # Version 1.4
      # Fixed Garbage collection of Tkinter images bug.
      # Added ability to set text atttributes.
      # Added Entry boxes.

      Here's what I came up with for a 2-dimensional random walk exercise. It takes a number of steps as input and iterates through them, while drawing every step as a line on the canvas. The direction is randomized.



      #rndwalk.py -- Simulates a 2-Dimensional random walk

      from random import random
      import math
      from graphics import *


      def intro():
      print("nThis program simulates n steps on a 2-dimensional random walk")
      print("and outputs the end point.")

      def open_window():
      win = GraphWin("2-Dimensional random walk", 500, 500)
      win.setCoords(-100, -100, 100, 100)
      win.setBackground("white")
      return win

      def walk_n_steps(steps, win):
      point_x = 0
      point_y = 0
      for step in range(steps):
      x_new, y_new = walk_one_step(point_x, point_y)
      draw_line(win, point_x, point_y, x_new, y_new)
      point_x, point_y = x_new, y_new
      return point_x, point_y

      def draw_line(win, point_x, point_y, x_new, y_new):
      step = Line(Point(point_x, point_y), Point(x_new, y_new))
      step.setWidth(2)
      step.setFill("black")
      step.draw(win)

      def walk_one_step(point_x, point_y):
      angle = random() * 2 * math.pi
      point_x = point_x + math.cos(angle)
      point_y = point_y + math.sin(angle)
      return point_x, point_y

      def output(steps, point_x, point_y):
      print("nSteps simulated: {}".format(steps))
      print("Start point: 0, 0")
      print("End point: {}, {}n".format(point_x, point_y))

      def main():
      intro()
      win = open_window()
      steps = int(input("How many steps do you want to simulate? >> "))
      point_x, point_y = walk_n_steps(steps, win)
      output(steps, point_x, point_y)
      win.getMouse()

      if __name__ == "__main__": main()


      For anyone who wants to test it, here's the graphics module I'm using. Note that it's necessary to use from graphics import *, it won't work any other way. That's how the author of the book I'm using intended.



      # graphics.py
      """Simple object oriented graphics library

      The library is designed to make it very easy for novice programmers to
      experiment with computer graphics in an object oriented fashion. It is
      written by John Zelle for use with the book "Python Programming: An
      Introduction to Computer Science" (Franklin, Beedle & Associates).

      LICENSE: This is open-source software released under the terms of the
      GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html).

      PLATFORMS: The package is a wrapper around Tkinter and should run on
      any platform where Tkinter is available.

      INSTALLATION: Put this file somewhere where Python can see it.

      OVERVIEW: There are two kinds of objects in the library. The GraphWin
      class implements a window where drawing can be done and various
      GraphicsObjects are provided that can be drawn into a GraphWin. As a
      simple example, here is a complete program to draw a circle of radius
      10 centered in a 100x100 window:

      --------------------------------------------------------------------
      from graphics import *

      def main():
      win = GraphWin("My Circle", 100, 100)
      c = Circle(Point(50,50), 10)
      c.draw(win)
      win.getMouse() # Pause to view result
      win.close() # Close window when done

      main()
      --------------------------------------------------------------------
      GraphWin objects support coordinate transformation through the
      setCoords method and mouse and keyboard interaction methods.

      The library provides the following graphical objects:
      Point
      Line
      Circle
      Oval
      Rectangle
      Polygon
      Text
      Entry (for text-based input)
      Image

      Various attributes of graphical objects can be set such as
      outline-color, fill-color and line-width. Graphical objects also
      support moving and hiding for animation effects.

      The library also provides a very simple class for pixel-based image
      manipulation, Pixmap. A pixmap can be loaded from a file and displayed
      using an Image object. Both getPixel and setPixel methods are provided
      for manipulating the image.

      DOCUMENTATION: For complete documentation, see Chapter 4 of "Python
      Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science" by John Zelle,
      published by Franklin, Beedle & Associates. Also see
      http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python for a quick reference"""

      __version__ = "5.0"

      # Version 5 8/26/2016
      # * update at bottom to fix MacOS issue causing askopenfile() to hang
      # * update takes an optional parameter specifying update rate
      # * Entry objects get focus when drawn
      # * __repr_ for all objects
      # * fixed offset problem in window, made canvas borderless

      # Version 4.3 4/25/2014
      # * Fixed Image getPixel to work with Python 3.4, TK 8.6 (tuple type handling)
      # * Added interactive keyboard input (getKey and checkKey) to GraphWin
      # * Modified setCoords to cause redraw of current objects, thus
      # changing the view. This supports scrolling around via setCoords.
      #
      # Version 4.2 5/26/2011
      # * Modified Image to allow multiple undraws like other GraphicsObjects
      # Version 4.1 12/29/2009
      # * Merged Pixmap and Image class. Old Pixmap removed, use Image.
      # Version 4.0.1 10/08/2009
      # * Modified the autoflush on GraphWin to default to True
      # * Autoflush check on close, setBackground
      # * Fixed getMouse to flush pending clicks at entry
      # Version 4.0 08/2009
      # * Reverted to non-threaded version. The advantages (robustness,
      # efficiency, ability to use with other Tk code, etc.) outweigh
      # the disadvantage that interactive use with IDLE is slightly more
      # cumbersome.
      # * Modified to run in either Python 2.x or 3.x (same file).
      # * Added Image.getPixmap()
      # * Added update() -- stand alone function to cause any pending
      # graphics changes to display.
      #
      # Version 3.4 10/16/07
      # Fixed GraphicsError to avoid "exploded" error messages.
      # Version 3.3 8/8/06
      # Added checkMouse method to GraphWin
      # Version 3.2.3
      # Fixed error in Polygon init spotted by Andrew Harrington
      # Fixed improper threading in Image constructor
      # Version 3.2.2 5/30/05
      # Cleaned up handling of exceptions in Tk thread. The graphics package
      # now raises an exception if attempt is made to communicate with
      # a dead Tk thread.
      # Version 3.2.1 5/22/05
      # Added shutdown function for tk thread to eliminate race-condition
      # error "chatter" when main thread terminates
      # Renamed various private globals with _
      # Version 3.2 5/4/05
      # Added Pixmap object for simple image manipulation.
      # Version 3.1 4/13/05
      # Improved the Tk thread communication so that most Tk calls
      # do not have to wait for synchonization with the Tk thread.
      # (see _tkCall and _tkExec)
      # Version 3.0 12/30/04
      # Implemented Tk event loop in separate thread. Should now work
      # interactively with IDLE. Undocumented autoflush feature is
      # no longer necessary. Its default is now False (off). It may
      # be removed in a future version.
      # Better handling of errors regarding operations on windows that
      # have been closed.
      # Addition of an isClosed method to GraphWindow class.

      # Version 2.2 8/26/04
      # Fixed cloning bug reported by Joseph Oldham.
      # Now implements deep copy of config info.
      # Version 2.1 1/15/04
      # Added autoflush option to GraphWin. When True (default) updates on
      # the window are done after each action. This makes some graphics
      # intensive programs sluggish. Turning off autoflush causes updates
      # to happen during idle periods or when flush is called.
      # Version 2.0
      # Updated Documentation
      # Made Polygon accept a list of Points in constructor
      # Made all drawing functions call TK update for easier animations
      # and to make the overall package work better with
      # Python 2.3 and IDLE 1.0 under Windows (still some issues).
      # Removed vestigial turtle graphics.
      # Added ability to configure font for Entry objects (analogous to Text)
      # Added setTextColor for Text as an alias of setFill
      # Changed to class-style exceptions
      # Fixed cloning of Text objects

      # Version 1.6
      # Fixed Entry so StringVar uses _root as master, solves weird
      # interaction with shell in Idle
      # Fixed bug in setCoords. X and Y coordinates can increase in
      # "non-intuitive" direction.
      # Tweaked wm_protocol so window is not resizable and kill box closes.

      # Version 1.5
      # Fixed bug in Entry. Can now define entry before creating a
      # GraphWin. All GraphWins are now toplevel windows and share
      # a fixed root (called _root).

      # Version 1.4
      # Fixed Garbage collection of Tkinter images bug.
      # Added ability to set text atttributes.
      # Added Entry boxes.
