→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.)
