Logo Blocks Tutorial — Advanced Mode
If you haven’t use Logo Blocks before, start with the Beginner Mode tutorial.
Next, go through the Intermediate Mode tutorial.
Finally, return here to learn even more block commands!
When Logo Blocks first starts up, you see the Beginner set of blocks. Click the word Intemediate or Advanced to get to more commands.
You can click on any of the words in the list at the left to get to the blocks in that group.
In Advanced Mode, blocks are organized into eleven categories.
Moves: turn and move the turtle, set the speed, set the screen mode
Looks: set the turtle shape and size, hide or show the turtle
Draw: set colors and pen size, pen up or down, draw shapes, fill, erase
Sound: say words or sounds
Events: act on certain events that occur
Flow: use commands that control what happens (IF…THEN and more)
Math: use random numbers and math operations
Input: work all types of data you can give to blocks
Output: print text in a dialog
Procedures: write simple procedures with or without an input
Variables: create and use variables to create flexible procedures
Some of the Advanced categories have the same blocks as in Intermediate mode, so this tutorial won’t cover them.
Refer to the Intermediate mode tutorial for more information about using blocks in these categories:
- Moves
- Looks
- Draw
- Sound
