== What is Turtle Art ==

Turtle Art is an activity with a Logo-inspired graphical "turtle" that draws colorful art based on snap-together visual programming elements.

'''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.

=== Background ===

Turtle Art is intended to be a stepping stone to the Logo programming language, but there are many restrictions compared to Logo. (Only numeric global variables and stack items are available, no lists or other data-structures. The conditionals and some of the functions only take constants or variables, not expressions. Limited screen real-estate makes building large programs unfeasible.) However, you can export your Turtle Art creations to [[#Exporting to Berkeley Logo|Berkeley Logo]].
