    @RafaHacker I’ve done turtle before..it’s kinda troublesome because you have to calculate angles and stuff to create every line..it’s just a lot of work to do just for a line...

    @rui725 Yeah and that is the reason why I want to make this app because I don't want kids to do that troublesome stuff

    Why not something like JS so that it can be used on a website? You'll be surprised, almost no kids have computers now days. It's mostly tablets and phones.

    @RafaHacker how bout add a editor (sort of like a paint) that would let kids draw and then once they are done you can get all the coordinates from the document that they’ve drawn..and then run it turtle...via coords

    @rui725 or maybe like plain English where you can input variables and see the result on the side.

    Ex: Move 10 meters
    Turn right
    Move 5 meters

    @rui725 and @Dacexi Good idea. I think a scratch like editor will be also fine

    practically code.orgπŸ˜” why not teach them something they'll actually use like codecademy or w3schools does? you're trying to make something easy even easier. when the kids finish this and get to an actual challenge, they'll be turned off.

    I went to your repository and looked at the code, I have got to say this, it was well documented and well written and easy to understand. I think u just reduced the hassle of turtle with your project, when I am free, I will probably define more functions for letters in the turtle in city file. I have never done logo tho so I was kinda surprised to see the syntax (pen up pen down). Anyways, keep up the good work
