Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. MicroWorlds is a
program that uses the Logo programming language, a dialect of Lisp
programming language. It uses a turtle object which can be moved around,
given commands, and eventually make shapes or even an animation. It is
part of a large set of dialects and implementations of Logo originating
from the invention of Seymour Papert and aimed at triggering the
development of abstract ideas by children through experimentation. As a
tool for learning, Logo is flexible and provides immediate feedback; it
is both accessible to young users and robust enough to create
sophisticated projects. In original versions of Logo, Papert created a
large 'turtle' that was programmed to move around the room by providing
commands via the computer.
