What is Turtle Confusion
Turtle Confusion presents 40 shape challenges to the learner that must be completed using basic Logo-blocks. The challenges as based on Barry Newell's 1988 book, Turtle Confusion: Logo Puzzles and Riddles.
Turtle Confusion is a fork of Turtle Blocks that presents 40 shape challenges to be programmed by moving the Logo turtle.
Coming soon: the ability to import challenges from the Sugar Journal.
Additional features:

- You can overlay Cartesian and polar coordinate grids
- Additional blocks can be added through the Turtle Blocks plugin mechanism
