Python - How to make turtle go to (x,y) position without having it move across the screen?

Question

I want to know how to make Turtle go to an (x, y) coordinate without having it move across the screen. I tried the .goto() and .setposition() methods, but they both make the turtle move across the screen. How do I do this?

Answer 1

You can use pen up, then set the turtle invisible, then use goto to move the turtle to your position.

turtle.up()
turtle.ht()
turtle.goto(x, y)

# reshow the turtle
turtle.st()
turtle.down()
