Where to get Turtle Art

Turtle Art is a Fructose module, so it is included as part of the standard Sugar (Sucrose = Glucose+Fructose) distribution.

Background

Turtle Art was written by Brian Silverman and is maintained by Walter Bender. Arjun Sarwal added the sensor features. Luis Michelena contributed to the "named" action and box blocks. Tony Forster has been the lead test engineer and has really stretched the boundaries of Turtle Art. Raúl Gutiérrez Segalés has been a major contributor to the refactoring of the Turtle Art code base starting with Version 0.83.
