Hi everyone!

TALKING TO THE TURTLE!

LOGO

When we talk to the turtle we use a programming language called LOGO. LOGO is a simple language that can do very simple things and VERY COMPLEX ones! We use words called COMMANDS.

COMMAND CENTER

We can try talking to the turtle in the command center.

COMMAND CENTER
To open it go to view and click on VIEW and check: show command center

COMMANDS TO MOVE

TO GO FORWARD FD 100 (or another number..dont exaggerate!) TO GO BACKWARD BK 100 (or another number)

COMMANDS TO TURN
Remember the compass? Your turtle TURNS from 0 to 360 degrees!

COMMANDS TO TURN
TO TURN RIGHT RT 90* (or another number between 0 and 360) TO TURN LEFT LT 90* (or another number between 0 and 360)

COMMANDS TO DRAW

TO PUT THE PEN DOWN PD TO CHANGE COLOR SETC 10* (the number of the color you want)

COMMANDS MORE

COMMANDS - REPEATING

To repeat the same commands several times you put them in a box: [ ] and use this command:

REPEAT

REPEAT 4
How many times do you want it to repeat it

[ YOUR INSTRUCTIONS]

What do you want to repeat

TO MAKE A SQUARE

First tell the turtle to put the pen down!! PD Now tell it to go forward: FD 100 Next tell her to turn right 90! RT 90 Continue FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 RT 90

ORUSING REPEAT
The long way: Writing it 4 times: FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 RT 90 FD 100 RT 90

The short way: Using repeat!

REPEAT 4[FD 100 RT 90]

YOU CAN PUT ALL THIS IN A BUTTON!
