[Edu-sig] Turtle work (2 of 2)

[John Posner]

A while ago, Horst Jens noted on this forum that Gregor Lingl has created
Xturtle, an extension of the standard Python "turtle" module. I played with
it, loved it, and decided to start working on a point-and-click interface to
it. For those interested, the current state-of-the-script is at this
Yahoo-hosted site:

To facilitate a transition to "real coding", the user's point-and-click work
generates an executable transcript -- comments included! (Actually, I would
defend the viewpoint that a point-and-click sequence *is* real coding. So
maybe we should call it "traditional coding".)

If there's some interest in pushing this project further, I'll place it on
SourceForge.
