Turtle Graphics is an exciting and fun way to discover computer programming concepts. Turtle Graphics is an easy-to-learn computer language. It enables the beginning programmer to master the computer in just a few minutes. By telling an imaginary turtle how to roam about on the VIC's screen, the Turtle Graphics programmer can create colorful and artistic pictures. As one becomes more and more adept at teaching the turtle to paint using the VIC's rich graphics and color palette, he or she is painlessly learning all of the basics of computer programming. This not only develops computer awareness, but enriches one's math, logic, communication and artistic skills as well.

Turtle Graphics has over 30 different commands including commands for color, sound, motion, logical conditions, calculations, branching, and subroutines. Turtle Graphics programs may be listed on a printer, and saved on, or loaded from a tape or disk. Turtle Graphics is menu-driven for ease of use and has an optional trace mode to help the beginning programmer follow the logic of his program one step at a time. A well-written, easy-to-follow manual with many examples is included.
