===Sharing===

Turtle Art supports a simple sharing model. Whomever joins a shared activity will share turtles with the other participants, e.g., whatever any turtle draws will appear on every screen. ~~(Please note that the "show" block is not shared~~, ~~so it is not possible~~ to ~~share multimedia objects~~.) Share can consume a lot of network bandwidth, so it is not recommended to share among more than 2–3 people at a time. As with all Sugar activities, you can use the Share-with feature of the Journal to share your Turtle Art projects with others.

Turtle Art supports a simple sharing model. Whomever joins a shared activity will share turtles with the other participants, e.g., whatever any turtle draws will appear on every screen. While sharing, you can also send stacks of blocks from one user to another. Share can consume a lot of network bandwidth, so it is not recommended to share among more than 2–3 people at a time if the screen is frequently changing. As with all Sugar activities, you can use the Share-with feature of the Journal to share your Turtle Art projects with others.

~~'''Note:''' as~~ of ~~Version 83, Turtle~~ Art ~~will not share correctly with older versions~~.

A simple application of Turle Art sharing is multimedia chat. Send text using the Show Block; voice using the Speak Block; and images using the Show Block. Lots of fun.

'''Note:''' ~~as of Version 106,~~ Turtle Art will share between Sugar and GNOME.

'''Note:''' Turtle Art will also share between Sugar and GNOME.
