I'm nostalgic for the days of 8 and 16 bit computing but whenever I sit down at my c64 or Amiga now I marvel at how far we've come.
That said, I agree that a simple and constrained environment can be great for learning and creativity. This is one of the reasons I'm currently writing a Logo interpreter reminiscent of ones I used as a kid in the 80's, using an Apple Logo II manual as a guide. Hopefully I can get my almost six year old daughter interested in playing with it!
- Gracana 12y agoAwesome, logo on the Apple II was my first introduction to programming. I hope she likes it too.
- voltagex_ 12y agoLogo! Are you going to open source the interpreter?
- bwldrbst 12y agoIt's at github.com/adkennan/logo but is still very much a work in progress. My goal is to get it running nicely on a Raspberry Pi.
- voltagex_ 12y agologogo, gologo, goturtles?
- bwldrbst 12y agologo-a-go-go perhaps? I haven't spent much time thinking about a project name beyond "my logo interpreter that's on github" Plus, just because it's written in Go I don't think an application should have extra "go's" in it's name!
