Dear coders,
We are happy to announce that now you can change the turtle shape.
The command is csh number or csh "animalname.
csh 0 "turtle.
csh 1 "cat.
csh 2 "fish.
csh 3 "dog.
csh 4 "horse.
csh 5 "tiger.
csh 6 "crab.
csh 7 "snail.
A sample can be viewed Here.

The commands showturtle (st) and hideturtle 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 <program_id> (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 enable us to define a function once and use it everywhere. A sample can be viewed Here
