The Logo Turtle

The turtle is the face of Logo. From their early days Logo implementations were able to control a turtle to draw beautiful figures.

Even now many of the people who have heard about Logo have also heard about turtle graphics.

Turtle graphics has a broad meaning - from program control of a turtle up to a complex fractal image.

But there is one central figure in all these - that's the turtle.

Well, traditionally Logo's turtle is a small triangle which is under your and your program control.

You tell it what you want it to do and it makes it best to do it.

The Elica turtle comes with prebuilt knowledge of some of the most basic actions, but if you want the turtle to draw houses and trees, then you have to teach it.

Anyway, this prebuilt knowledge is now available at startup, so if you like to use a turtle, your first command must be:
	run "turtle
It will load a file of instructions which will teach the your turtle of the basic actions.
