Line 1: − <noinclude>{{TOCright}}[[Category:Activities|Turtle Confusion]]</noinclude>+ − [[File:Turtle-a.png|75px]] [[File:Turtle-b.png|75px]]+ − == What is Turtle Confusion ==+ − − Turtle Confusion presents 40 shape challenges to the learner that must be completed using basic Logo-blocks. The challenges as based on Barry Newell's 1988 book, Turtle Confusion: Logo Puzzles and Riddles. − − Turtle Confusion is a fork of [[Activities/TurtleArt|Turtle Blocks]] that presents [[Activities/TurtleArt#Challenges|40 shape challenges]] to be programmed by moving the Logo turtle. − − <gallery> − File:TurtleConfusion.png − File:TurtleConfusion-5.png − File:TurtleConfusion-40.png − </gallery> − − Additional features: − * You can import challenges from the Sugar Journal (save them as an image file) − * You can save your results as (1) a Turtle Art program; (2) UCB Logo; or (3) as a PNG image − * You can overlay Cartesian and polar coordinate grids − * Additional blocks can be added through the Turtle Blocks plugin mechanism − − === Where to get Turtle Confusion === − − http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4450 − − === How to play Turtle Confusion === − − [[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/TurtleArt]] 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. − − <gallery> − File:Challenge-1.svg|Challenge 1 − File:Challenge-5.svg|Challenge 5 − File:Challenge-18.svg|Challenge 18 − File:Challenge-40.svg|Challenge 40 − </gallery> − − [[File:Challenges-chart.png]] − − == Credits == − * Walter Bender wrote and maintains the code. − * Barry Newell is the creator of the 40 shape puzzles. − * Brian Silverman is the first author of Turtle Art.
