logo

I recently inherited some technical books from a close friend. Among them was Seymour Papert's 'Mindstorms' -- a book about the history of the logo language. I recalled with fondness my own experiences with logo in the heydey of the great 8 bit age.

I built a little one for my daughter. It is here.

try:
do 20 [ fd 20 rt 18 ]

to star [ do 5 [ fd 70 rt 144 ] ]
do 5 [ star pu fd 90 pd ]

It will grow as she outgrows its limits. I do not know if I will be able to keep up.

(update 7 Aug 2014)
this logo now generates GPGL cameo output with the 'cameo' command
