Color under the turtle I hope to add when I switch over to Cairo (the current canvas style is write-only). -walter On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 07:57, Walter Bender walter.ben...@gmail.com wrote: I have a new refactored version of Turtle Art (a fructose module) that has many new features for the Sucrose 0.87.4 unstable release.

Forgot to mention, one of the changes I already made was to make prefix logic block. I think they are much easier to use and understand. Thanks for the continued reminders. I just implemented a while function as a macro. Once I figure out how to do it as a block, I will... Both would greatly simplify certain kinds of program. Also, how about reading the color under the Turtle? One thing you didn't mention, that I have been working on (but won't finish for 0.88) is adding graphical skins to blocks so that we can optionally eliminate the words. I have most of the underlying mechanics in place--just haven't worked out the UI issues yet. regards. -walter On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 07:57, Walter Bender walter.ben...@gmail.com wrote: I have a new refactored version of Turtle Art (a fructose module) that has many new features for the Sucrose 0.87.4 unstable release.

I have a new refactored version of Turtle Art (a fructose module) that has many new features for the Sucrose 0.87.4 unstable release.
