The basic idea is to import images (and eventually movies, audio, and text files) into slide templates, not unlike Powerpoint, and then show a presentation by stepping through them. The portfolio includes the typical major functions of presentation software: an editor that allows text to be inserted and formatted (this is largely incomplete), a method for inserting images (from the Journal), and a slide-show system to display the content. What makes it a bit different than tools such as Powerpoint is that you can program your slides using Turtle Art blocks. Turtle Art also has an export-to-HTML function so that presentations can be viewed outside of the Sugar environment. (These features have been merged into the main branch of Turtle Art.) − ==== Turtle Art with Arduino ====+ − [[Activities/TurtleArt/Arduino|Turtle Art with Arduino]] support is an extension of Turtle Art that supports data capture from the Arduino board.

==What is Turtle Art==
== What is Turtle Blocks (AKA Turtle Art)==
Turtle Art is an activity with a Logo-inspired graphical "turtle" that draws colorful art based on snap-together visual programming elements.
Turtle Blocks is an activity with a [https://logothings.wikispaces.com/ Logo-inspired] graphical "turtle" that draws colorful art based on snap-together visual programming elements. Its "low floor" provides an easy entry point for beginners. It also has "high ceiling" programming features which will challenge the more adventurous student.
=== Where to get Turtle Blocks ===
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4027
'''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.)
Turtle Art is a [[Taxonomy#Fructose:_The_set_of_demonstration_activities|Fructose module]], so it is included as part of the standard Sugar (Sucrose = Glucose+Fructose) distribution.
Debian (and Ubuntu) users can install Turtle Blocks from a repository maintained by Alan Aguiar (https://launchpad.net/~alanjas/+archive/turtleblocks):
# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alanjas/turtleblocks
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install turtleblocks
Fedora users can do:
# <strike>sudo yum install turtleblocks</strike>
# sudo yum install sugar-turtleart

For those of you who would like to use Turtle Blocks in a browser, there is a mostly compatible version at [http://turtle.sugarlabs.org Turtle Blocks JS]. See [https://github.com/walterbender/turtleblocksjs/blob/master/guide/README.md the Guide] ([https://github.com/walterbender/turtleblocksjs/blob/master/guide-es/README.md en ES]) for more details.
Finally, there is [http://walterbender.github.io/musicblocks Music Blocks], a musical fork of Turtle Blocks. See [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/blob/master/guide/README.md the Guide] for more details.

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]].

Turtle Art was written by Brian Silverman and is maintained by Walter Bender. Arjun Sarwal added the sensor features. Luis Michelena contributed to the "named" action and box blocks. Tony Forster has been the lead test engineer and has really [[#From_the_field|stretched the boundaries]] of Turtle Art. Raúl Gutiérrez Segalés has been a major contributor to the refactoring of the Turtle Art code base starting with Version 0.83.
