-== What is Turtle Confusion ==
+The source file has been moved to [https://github.com/godiard/help-activity/blob/master/source/turtle_confusion.rst GitHub]
-Turtle Confusion presents 40 shape challenges to the learner that must be completed using basic Logo-blocks. The challenges are based on Barry Newell's 1988 book, ''Turtle Confusion: Logo Puzzles and Riddles''. Gary Stager has put a scan of Barry Newell's original book on line [http://constructingmodernknowledge.com/tcbook.pdf here] (with permission of the author).
-Turtle Confusion is a fork of [[Activities/TurtleArt|Turtle Blocks]] that presents [[Activities/TurtleArt#Challenges|40 shape challenges]] to be programmed by moving the Logo turtle.

-Additional features:
-* You can import challenges from the Sugar Journal (save them as an image file)
-* You can save your results as: (1) a Turtle Art program; (2) a UCB Logo project; or (3) a PNG image
-* You can overlay Cartesian and polar coordinate grids
-* Additional blocks can be added through the Turtle Blocks plugin mechanism
-=== Where to get Turtle Confusion ===
-http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4450
-=== How to play Turtle Confusion ===
-[[File:Confusion-toolbar.png]]
-# Select a challenge from the Combo Box (Shown above: 'confusion 40').
-# Use blocks from the various palettes to instruct the Logo turtle to replicate the pattern.
-----
-Please refer to the [[Activities/TurtleArt]] pages for basic instructions on how to use the block interface and the details of various toolbars.
-The shape challenges are loaded from the Combo Box on the Project (Palette) toolbar. When you select a shape, it will be loaded onto the canvas. When you use the Erase button, the current shape is reloaded.
-The available blocks are small subset of the Turtle Block blocks: the basic turtle blocks; a reduced palette of pen and color blocks; some basic arithmetic operators; the repeat block; and the action and box blocks.
-The Export palette includes save as Logo; save as image; and save as Turtle Art.
-=== What are the challenges? ===
-The challenges are problems of symmetry and geometry which typically can be solved by using a combination of rotations and repeat blocks.
