- A few years ago, I wrote an esoteric, minimalistic turtle graphics language called CFRS[]: <https://susam.net/cfrs.html>.
This was an exercise in making a turtle graphics language that is as minimal as possible. It is closer to Brainfsck than JavaScript and it is not Turing complete, by design.
To see some demos, go to <https://susam.github.io/cfrs/demo.html>.

- When I was seven I wrote a LOGO program on our school's Apple IIe to tile the (green monochrome) monitor with hexagons. It's all been downhill since.

- This is a fun sort of project --- couldn't resist knocking out an implementation for OpenPythonSCAD:
https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview/blob/main/tdmt.py
https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview/blob/main/threeDmo...
(and yes, the full name (3-Dimension Model Turtle) does have the same number of syllables as a certain for letter franchise staring beings named for a certain quartet named after Italian Renaissance artists)
- Such a nice project!! I made several turtles too, check https://turtletoy.net/user/markknol
- It's a weird feeling. I'm starting to loathe the very art I used to admire and spend lot of hours to create. It's like the Gulliver story where people were fed with lots of tasty food, by the monster.

- Similar: https://www.dwitter.net/
Where you get 140 characters to draw using code. (Similar as in the resulting pictures reminded me of dwitter)

- LOGO lives!
- This is so neat. I quite like this one: https://turtletoy.net/turtle/782a9f5329
- This is what "computer art" and "generative art" meant for decades: relatively short programs generating interesting pictures. Today's text-to-image models are quite different from that.
(But I think even for diffusion models, interesting pictures that come from very short or unspecific prompts are more in the spirit of classic generative art, as they don't try to describe specific details explicitly.)
- No screenshots?!
Not clear nor simple. Imo negligible use for teaching.
If you know how to import modules and use library functions then you don't need LOGO anymore...
'KEYWORD(50)'
is always simpler than:
' turtle.function(value, value)'
Great project but missed the opportunity to develop your own LOGO interpreter from scratch in web assembly:)
- This is really cool. Ive been thinking a lot about how to make a Turing complete visual language.
- I wish you could export these in higher res and 16:9, would make good background images

- Great stuff, kind of like the turtle graphics library for p5.js.
If you want to create much fancier graphics (and games!) in actual Logo, check out turtleSpaces:

- Can't I slow down the drawing to watch it work?

- I can say, I didn't do so beautiful pictures back in the 80's in my French School

- LOGO on Apple IIs was my very first experience with programming. Seeing this puts a huge smile on my face.
- HAHA it brings back memories!
- Another addition to the Logo tree https://pavel.it.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/logotree/table.html
