    Move the Turtle

    The main character reminds us of the old Logo turtle used to teach kids computer programming during the reign of the Apple IIe. Each new level of achievement increases in difficulty and teaches a new command that directs the turtle to reach a star, make a sound, draw a line, etc. A free play "compose" mode lets students move the turtle however they want.

    By completing the tasks, one after another, the kid learns how to plan complex operations composed of simple & intuitive commands. Kids will get familiar with the notions of loops, procedures, variables and conditional instructions, discover how to use graphics, spatial orientation or sound in programming.
