Answer 3

Python can be used to make games. Even though it's slower than other languages, it is still absolutely feasible for game development. Modern computers are so fast that unless your game is huge you won't have speed problems. http://pygame.org/ is a well-known game framework for Python games.

FYI, turtle is used for introducing programming to kids. It was not intended to be used for heavy processing of images or games.

If you ever need to do image processing, there are a number of modules that do it well.
