Turtlebyte

Summer 2025 - https://github.com/isaac1000000/turtlebyte - https://pypi.org/project/turtlebyte/

Turtlebyte is a virtual hard drive written and read by python's very own turtle drawing module inspired by tom7's Harder Drive: Hard drives we didn't want or need. It's slow, it's simple, and it makes a terrible hard drive - but it makes one nonetheless. It's uploaded to PyPI, so you too can install it and use it for whatever ridiculous purposes you may dream up.

Turtlebyte is build with python's turtle module, which is a super simple drawing module without many features. I tried to make the module as easy to use from the outside as possible with the hopes of porting it to other things - I first intended to run DOOM, but quickly realized that the speed limitations were more conducive to pong. Either way, it's a fun little project that I got a great gif out of.
