xTurtle 1.0

This language was created to be used with The Most Complex Machine, but it is in the mainstream of high-level languages, along with Pascal, Ada and C. It incorporates some ideas common to all these languages, such as variables, assignment statements, loops, if statements and subroutines. (You should find that you are already familiar with the basic ideas because of your work in previous labs.) The xTurtle language also contains special-purpose commands for doing turtle graphics. These commands can be used to draw pictures on the computer screen. In this lab, you will learn about the basic xTurtle commands, about loops and if statements, and about variables. Future labs will cover programming in more detail, including the use of subroutines.<br /><br />This lab covers some of the same material as Chapter 6 of The Most Complex Machine. The lab is meant as a self-contained introduction to this material, but it would still be useful to read Chapter 6 before doing the lab.
