Turtle Art is an activity with a Logo-inspired graphical "turtle" that draws colorful art based on Scratch-like snap-together visual programming elements.
Although it has a turtle, supports neither procedures nor recursion, so it should not be seen as a Logo replacement.
There are five palettes of program elements available for program construction. Conditions for the If block are a different shape than numeric parameters used by the other blocks.
- Blocks
- Clear
- Forward(n)
- Back(n)
- Left(angle)
- Right(angle)
- Arc(angle,radius)
- SetXY(x,y)
- SetH(heading)
- Pen
- ? (no screenshot)
- Numbers
- ? (no screenshot)
- Flow
- Wait(n)
- Forever[stack] (no continuation)
- Repeat(n)[stack]
- If(condition)[then]
- If(condition)[then][else]
- Stop (no continuation)
- Connectors:
- jog right
- jog down
- My blocks
- ? (no screenshot)
