Revision as of 18:40, 21 February 2010
, 18:40, 21 February 2010moved Talk:Anal bleaching 14/Turtle Art/Patching to Talk:Activities/Turtle Art/Patching over redirect: revert
==Ideas for new features==
* Integration with Turtle Art with Sensor
* conversion from GIF to SVG
* scalable to other than 1200x900
* more variables?
* more color control: gray, color palettes?
* Icons on tiles, rather than text (no localization; test with preschoolers)
* "While" icon, others--functions, flow control, NumPy data structures
* Prefix arithmetic and logic
* Tile that can read color of current location (for toy Turtle Turing Machine)
* Text tile with stroke font
*

* Further instructions on how to get the new Turtle Art into the release system (so it is part of the standard Sugar distribution) are found here: ReleaseTeam#New_modules_proposal Specifically, I need to generate a .xo and a distribution source:

** This process is only meant for requesting inclusion of new activities that are not yet part of the release sucrose cycle. For the releases of the other modules the maintainers of the activity are responsible. Since this article is about patching turtle art and possibly releasing the activity containing the fix by the maintainer, this could be misleading.

I'm planning to use Turtle Art to teach math, programming (in TA, Logo, and Python, at least), and Computer Science, and to write a [[Education Team/Creating textbooks|book]] on it at [http://www.flossmanuals.net/ FLOSS Manuals].--[[User:Mokurai|Mokurai]] 00:53, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
* Where are the magic numbers in the code documented? (a little documantation at [http://sugarlabs.org/go/Modifying_Activities Modifying_Activities] - tony)
* Is the file format for TA documented somewhere, so that we can write a Logo to TA translator? (this would require some complicated logic, the resulting block stack would have to fit on the canvas and not overlap itself too much, I have found laying out blocks a difficult task if wanting to keep a complicated program readable. Unfortunately, the canvas does not scroll - tony)
::Scrolling canvas... another item on the wish list... Tony, can you file a ticket? --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 04:07, 15 March 2009 (UTC)- #549 Tony
