Nice. This seems like a great tool to teach kids how to program and explore "Turtle Geometry"[1] and L-Systems[2]. [1] http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/turtle-geo

In my country Costa Rica Logo was taught in primary schools and It was a lot of fun. It was indeed the first time I coded something when I was eight.

  Same in Italy, at least for me about 20 years ago. Glad to see it on the web now!

We learned Logo using the turtle robot at primary school (this is going back over 20 years) and thinking about it, that was actually my first exposure to programming. Does anyone know if you can still get those turtle robots now? I'm guessing they'd be long out of manufacture, but would love to own one and would love to introduce programming to my kids using it.
