Anyone else remember that thing with the turtle that you gave instructions to and it'd draw lines?

    Logomotion was the first one I experienced, but there's like infinite number of them. It's quite easy to code.

    I wasn't aware of this turtle thing but I came across it recently upon reading the book from the inventor itself.

    What's great about it is if you played with it as a kid you had nice intro to using canvas and alikes

    Logo. It introdiced programming for me when I was very little. 7-8 I think. I wrote my first game in logo for a competition. It started everything for me :)

    I remember it as micromundos pro and you told the turtle to move writing or not telling it to use the pen 🐢😅

    Learned Logo on an Apple 2E in middle school. Then a geek friend walked in and coded up a helicopter flight sim from mere pseudocode in a computer magazine. I've been trying to catch up to that skill level ever since.

    When they stopped teaching LOGO in schools and started teaching Office, programming became a nerdy thing instead of a fun thing to do for anyone.
