LOGO on Apple IIs was my very first experience with programming. Seeing this puts a huge smile on my face.

Writing an infinite "hello world!" loop on an Atari 800XL was my first programming experience... in the mid-2000s.

#22I wish you could export these in higher res and 16:9, would make good background images
Yes there’s one I’d like to print out. There must be some way to render this at higher res. Does anyone know?
Re: Turtletoy
#23When I was seven I wrote a LOGO program on our school's Apple IIe to tile the (green monochrome) monitor with hexagons. It's all been downhill since.
That’s really cool! In adulthood I’ve learned about Seymour Papert and LOGO but I was never exposed to it when I was young. We did have early 90’s Macs in grade school.

you can download each as an SVG and then render it out at any resolution using something like inkscape

#25Can't I slow down the drawing to watch it work?

#27No screenshots?! Not clear nor simple. Imo negligible use for teaching. If you know how to import modules and use library functions then you don't need LOGO anymore... 'KEYWORD(50)' is always simpler than: ' turtle.function(value, value)' Great project but missed the opportunity to develop your own LOGO interpreter from scratch in web assembly:)
turtletoy was made back around 2018 before web assembly was generally available.

i made some art on this site years ago. some people used this to make plottable art. plotting it is definitely a slower way to watch it work through a drawing :)

Where you get 140 characters to draw using code. (Similar as in the resulting pictures reminded me of dwitter)

That is really interesting. Pity half of them use a "eval(unescape(escape(x)).replace(/u../g,'')))" with a compressor and decoder function.
