==Learning with Turtle Art==
Play with Turtle Art to draw colorful art patterns using a turtle that accepts instructions for movement.
With visual programming blocks, you can snap together programs by compiling (combining) them in ways to create anything you can imagine.

Try any of the [http://docs.python.org/library/time.html time] or [http://docs.python.org/library/math.html math] library functions, e.g.,
localtime().tm_min
sin(x) + sin(pi/2)

===games===
Turtle Art can be used to write games, such as a simple falling block game:
