Python Turtle Graphics
A couple weeks ago, I was telling some people about the Logo programming language from Seymour Papert, how much of an impact it had on my formative years as a great educational tool: not just for programming, but also for math, geometry and simply "logic" in general. I kept that conversation in my mind for a while and then I started to wonder how cool it would be to write a simple set of Logo commands to be used from a Python prompt. Nothing fancy, just a small module that would allow one to do something like this: from pylogo import * And then proceed to combining regular Python commands with calls to forward(), right() and other common Logo commands right away. For the sake of simplicity, the module would take care of managing a simple tkinter-powered window with the Logo graphics in it. I eventually saved some time to proceed implementing that idea. And I think it was around the first 5 minutes of writing the very few first blocks of my boilerplate code, I ra...
