== What is Turtle Blocks (AKA Turtle Art)==

Turtle Blocks is an activity with a [https://logothings.wikispaces.com/ Logo-inspired] graphical "turtle" that draws colorful art based on snap-together visual programming elements. Its "low floor" provides an easy entry point for beginners. It also has "high ceiling" programming features which will challenge the more adventurous student.

=== Where to get Turtle Blocks ===

'''Note:''' There are two inter-compatible programs: [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4298 Turtle Art] and [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4027 Turtle Blocks]. Turtle Art, which closely parallels the Java version of Turtle Art maintained by Brian Silverman, offers a small subset of the functionality of Turtle Blocks. '''Sugar users probably want to use Turtle Blocks rather than Turtle Art.''' (Also see [[Activities/Turtle Confusion|Turtle Confusion]], a collection of programming challenges designed by Barry Newell; as well as the [[Activities/TurtleFlags]], [[Activities/Tortuga de Mexico]] and [[Activities/Amazonas Tortuga]] variants.)

Fedora users can do:

# <strike>sudo yum install turtleblocks</strike>

For those of you who would like to use Turtle Blocks in a browser, there is a mostly compatible version at [http://turtle.sugarlabs.org Turtle Blocks JS]. See [https://github.com/walterbender/turtleblocksjs/blob/master/guide/README.md the Guide] ([https://github.com/walterbender/turtleblocksjs/blob/master/guide-es/README.md en ES]) for more details.

Finally, there is [http://walterbender.github.io/musicblocks Music Blocks], a musical fork of Turtle Blocks. See [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/blob/master/guide/README.md the Guide] for more details.
