Getting Started

Start by clicking on (or dragging) blocks from the Turtle palette. Use multiple blocks to create drawings; as the turtle moves under your control, colorful lines are drawn.

You add blocks to your program by clicking on or dragging them from the palette to the main area. You can delete a block by dragging it back onto the palette. Click anywhere on a "stack" of blocks to start executing that stack or by clicking in the Rabbit (fast) or Turtle (slow) buttons on the Project Toolbar.

  • basic turtle graphics: 'forward', 'back', 'arc', and 'right' blocks

  • 'show' block used for text

  • multimedia: 'show' block used for image (movies, audio)

  • pen attributes: 'set pen color' block

  • 'set pen size' block

  • logical operations: 'if' block

  • named variables:'store in' block
