Activities/Turtle Art: Difference between revisions

Line 162:

There are eight palettes of program elements available for program construction: [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Turtle|Turtle movements]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Pen|Pen attributes]]; Color attributes; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Numbers|Numeric operators]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Sensors|Misc. functions]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Flow|Logical operators]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Blocks|Logical blocks]]; and [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Templates|Presentation blocks]]

Blocks are dragged from the palette onto the canvas surface. To dispose of a block, drag it back onto the palette.

The palettes can be displayed horizontally or vertically (See below). Orientation is adjusted by clicking on the [[Image:TAorientation0.svg]] and [[Image:TAorientation1.svg]] buttons on the upper-left corner of the palette. The palette can be hidden by clicking on the [[Image:TAhide.svg]] button on the lower-right corner of the palette. The next palette in the menu can be accessed by clicking on the [[Image:TAnext.svg]] button on the upper-right corner of the palette.

[[Image:TAcolors.png]]

These blocks can be used with the set-pen-color block.

[[Image:TAnumbers.png]]

These blocks are arithmetic and boolean operators.

[[Image:TAflow.png]]

These blocks control program flow.

[[Image:TAblocks.png]]

These blocks are for defining variables and subroutines.

[[Image:TAextras.png]]

These are a collection of extra blocks for accessing advanced features.

[[Image:TAportfolio.png]]

These blocks are used to make multimedia presentations.

~~The palettes can be displayed vertically. Orientation is adjusted by clicking on the [[Image:TAorientation0.svg]] and [[Image:TAorientation1.svg]] buttons on the upper-left corner~~ of ~~the~~ palette.
