I suggest adding this to the title: "Create your own generative art using a minimalistic Turtle graphics API."
This reminds me of a story of how Logo was implemented on 8-bit microcomputers. Leigh Klotz was the man who ported MIT Logo to the Apple ][ and then the Commodore 64. According to him “The Commodore 64 CPU 6510 has a bidirectional parallel port at location 0 and 1, taking up 2 of the 256 "page zero" locations, which are the only ones you can indirect through. When I ported MIT Logo from the Apple II, there were lots…

why does hacker news redirect the link like that? isn't this a major bug and security issue?
Ahhh, love this site. I own an axidraw pen plotter, and because I'm feeling generous, I'll print every sketch made by people in this HN thread. <3

How are you translating the sketches into files that work with Axidraw? I have one as well and would love to do the same!
It even comes with an option to optimize the paths to minimize pen travel for plotters :)
This takes me back. I remember learning Logo at school when I was 10 or 11 and had a project to do using Logo. For some reason I couldn't make it into school for a few weeks, I'm not sure if I was ill or something else but was going to miss the project hand in date, so I wrote the code on paper while I was at home as I didn't have a Logo compiler or interpreter for my ZX Spectrum. My teacher put my code into the inte…
Logo's turtle graphics aren't the most complex language ever, but underneath of it is a Lisp without the parentheses, which is quite powerful including list processing and recursion.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

The site has a "download as SVG" button on every render. It's small, in the bottom right corner of the rendered result pane. It even comes with an option to optimize the paths to minimize pen travel for plotters :)
