Dear Coders/Educators,

Now you can comment on the programs you like or have an idea how to improve.
Please try the new commenting feature and let the program creators know your opinion.
We do think one of the best ways to learn is from each other, so try it on.

Greetings,

Turtle Academy Team

Dear Teachers,

We are happy to announce that now you can create your own lessons and share them with your students.
Go to 'Classes' -> 'My lessons' and start creating your lessons. After they have been created, please change 'Can be viewed by' to 'All my students'.

Happy coding!

Turtle Academy

To all our Students & Teachers,

Wishing you an amazing and fruitful year.

Dear Coders,

We are happy to announce that now you can change the turtle shape by using the command is csh number or csh "animalname.
csh 0 / csh "turtle.
csh 1 / csh "cat.
csh 2 / csh "fish.
csh 3 / csh "dog.
csh 4 / csh "horse.
csh 5 / csh "tiger.
csh 6 / csh "crab.
csh 7 / csh "snail.

A sample can be viewed Here

The commands showturtle (st) and hideturtle (ht) are now working properly.

We are happy to announce that Turtle Academy will now support the include command (for now only in English).

The command structure is include (e.g include 8080). When we include a program, we actually import all of our defined functions (TO commands) from this program. This is a really powerful tool which enables us to define a function once and use it everywhere.

1) Translated programs – Now you will be able to enter any public program and see the code in your own native language.
2) School and class management - improved interface for teachers managing a class.
3) More user friendly - better presentation of rating options of user programs.
4) Include command - You will soon be able to include your program function in another program.

If you have encountered any problems since the upgrade please let us know.

Wishing you a great year!
