My goal is not to replace Sugar (or Sugar activities) with Turtle Blocks, but to use Turtle Blocks to make Sugar and Sugar activities more transparent. I posit that once you have written a simple paint program in Turtle Blocks, suddenly the underlying mechanics of the Paint activity are more readily accessible. I don't see Turtle Blocks as the authoring tool for activities as much as the tool for understanding the basic mechanisms that underlay them. regards. -walter -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
