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 save your results as (1) a Turtle Art program; (2) UCB Logo; or (3) as a PNG image
  • You can overlay Cartesian and polar coordinate grids
  • Additional blocks can be added through the Turtle Blocks plugin mechanism
