=Introduction=
TurtleBlocks is a fun activity in which you learn how command a little robotic turtle to draw pictures and designs for you. TurtleBlocks does only one thing and tries to do it very simply and very well: bring geometry and art together through programming. Like the Logo programming language turtle geometry has a central role. However the main focus of TurtleBlocks is static artistic images.

==Educational application and relevance==
It was designed to be easy enough for children and yet powerful enough for people of all ages. TurtleBlocks is focused on making images while allowing you to explore geometry and programming.

==Version==
The TurtleBlocks Tool version – 98-1  
==Configuration==
There is no specific configuration for this tool or application.
* TurtleBlocks is part of the Ubuntu distribution. <br>
This can be opened from Applications  → Education → TurtleBlocks
