Learn TurtleBlocks
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.
