.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
\fBKTurtle\fP is an educational programming environment using the Logo
|
|
|
|
|
programming language. It tries to make programming as easy and
|
|
|
|
|
accessible as possible. This makes KTurtle suitable for teaching kids
|
|
|
|
|
the basics of mathematics, geometry and programming.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
The commands used to program are in the style of the Logo programming
|
|
|
|
|
language. The unique feature of Logo is that the commands are often
|
|
|
|
|
translated into the speaking language of the programmer.

|
|
|

|
KTurtle is named after "the turtle" that plays a central role in the
|
|
|
|
|
programming environment. The user programs the turtle, using the Logo
|
|
|
|
|
commands, to draw a picture on the canvas.
|

Note that this version of Logo is only focused on the educational
|
|
|
|
|
qualities of the programming language and will not try to suit
|
|
|
|
|
professional programmers' needs.
