    Ah, the turtle program I used when I was younger could only turn left by turning right several times (or by a large angle).

    Sounds like a SatNav in Milton Keynes[^], "Turn Right, Turn Right, Turn Right, Turn Right, you are lost"

      Yeah. Now that I think about it, maybe it could turn both ways... might have just been a programming assignment to have it turn one way by turning the other way a few times.

        The SmallBasic Turtle turns using a WPF animation. So it's pretty flexible (pity they didn't add 3d support).

            Probably good for teaching kids. Microsoft is giving away (as in free) their Small Basic, and it works on Win7. More here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=b006d58d-c2c7-44ad-936b-e7e2d7de793e[^]

                  Hey, this is pretty neat. Did you check out the built-in Turtle object?

                  Turtle.Show()
                  GraphicsWindow.KeyDown = KeyDown

                  Sub KeyDown
                  Turtle.TurnRight()
                  Turtle.Move(100)
                  EndSub

                      :laugh: That would be why I never watch NASCAR. MotoGP is much more exciting. I'm working on a training module to teach at-risk high school students a little bit of programming beyond the HTML/JavaScript they are already working with. I'll be using Small Basic. Easier to install. No solution/project files. Less overhead and no background knowledge required to start coding when compared to VS. "New" and start writing some code.

                                I believe my collection is complete - 3 vinyl albums - as that's all I've ever been able to locate. But I also have the songbook, with sheet music, and have been known to perform a few on stage. :-D

                                      Yeah. Now that I think about it, maybe it could turn both ways... might have just been a programming assignment to have it turn one way by turning the other way a few times.

                                      It sounds like San Francisco, where they have no left turn streets.
