Chapter 12: Continuing Your Explorations

The sequence of ideas and activities in the Tutorial provides a good beginning for your explorations in Terrapin Logo. Terrapin Logo embodies the “no floor, no ceiling” philosophy. Beginners can quickly start interesting projects. More experienced users can develop programs as intricate and advanced as their abilities allow. Logo provides great introduction to computers and the sequential reasoning and logical organization their programming requires. It is also a tool that can be used over and over to test ideas, prototype project designs, and use just for fun.

Terrapin offers a full range of resources with Terrapin Logo to encourage and assist your explorations. On-line Help is always at your fingertips. It provides an explanation, illustration, and example of each Logo command along with links to related commands. Try Help first when you have a question. Copy and paste the examples into your programs, altering them as you wish. Explore the links to discover new ideas and find alternative ways of accomplishing your goals. Like Help, the example programs that come with Terrapin Logo can be used as program models and a source of new ideas.
