| − | Turtle Confusion presents 40 shape challenges to the learner that must be completed using basic Logo-blocks. The challenges are based on Barry Newell's 1988 book, ''Turtle Confusion: Logo Puzzles and Riddles''. Gary Stager has put a scan of Barry Newell's original book on line [http://constructingmodernknowledge.com/tcbook.pdf here] (with permission of the author).

| − | Turtle Confusion is a fork of [[Activities/Turtle Art|Turtle Blocks]] that presents [[Activities/Turtle Art#Challenges|40 shape challenges]] to be programmed by moving the Logo turtle.

| − | [[File:Confusion-toolbar.png]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Select a challenge from the Combo Box (Shown above: 'confusion 40').
| |
| − | # Use blocks from the various palettes to instruct the Logo turtle to replicate the pattern.
| |

| − | ----
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please refer to the [[Activities/Turtle Art]] pages for basic instructions on how to use the block interface and the details of various toolbars.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The shape challenges are loaded from the Combo Box on the Project (Palette) toolbar. When you select a shape, it will be loaded onto the canvas. When you use the Erase button, the current shape is reloaded.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The available blocks are small subset of the Turtle Block blocks: the basic turtle blocks; a reduced palette of pen and color blocks; some basic arithmetic operators; the repeat block; and the action and box blocks.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Export palette includes save as Logo; save as image; and save as Turtle Art.

| − | === What are the challenges? ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The challenges are problems of symmetry and geometry which typically can be solved by using a combination of rotations and repeat blocks.
