Creating a racing simulation game using Python's Turtle graphics

import turtle
import random

# Set up the screen
screen = turtle.Screen()
screen.title("Python Racing Simulation")
screen.bgcolor("lightgray")
screen.setup(width=600, height=400)

# Create racetrack border
border = turtle.Turtle()
border.penup()
border.speed(0)
border.goto(-250, 180)
border.pendown()
border.color("black")
border.goto(-250, -180)
border.goto(250, -180)
border.goto(250, 180)
border.goto(-250, 180)
border.hideturtle()

# Create racers
class Racer(turtle.Turtle):
    def __init__(self, color, y):
        super().__init__(shape="turtle")
        self.color(color)
        self.penup()
        self.goto(-230, y)

# Initialize racers
racers = []
colors = ["red", "blue", "green", "yellow", "purple"]
start_y = 120
for color in colors:
    racer = Racer(color, start_y)
    racers.append(racer)
    start_y -= 50

# Racing function
def race():
    while True:
        for racer in racers:
            distance = random.randint(1, 10)
            racer.forward(distance)
            if racer.xcor() >= 230:
                winner = colors[racers.index(racer)]
                print(f"The {winner} turtle wins!")
                return

# Start the race
race()

turtle.done()
 

This code sets up a simple racetrack using Turtle graphics and creates multiple turtles (racers) of different colors. The race() function makes each turtle move forward by a random distance until one of them reaches the finish line (x-coordinate of 230). When a turtle reaches the finish line, the program announces the winner in the console.
