Microsoft Small Basic - Turtle

Turtle

Microsoft Small Basic ships with a Turtle graphics library that borrows the idea from Logo. For example, you can make the turtle draw a square by simply saying:

For i = 1 to 4 Turtle.Move(100) Turtle.TurnRight EndFor

Older Basic dialects, like Microsoft QuickBasic, did not use

EndFor

but

Next i

Famous quotes containing the word turtle:

    “I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,
    The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,
    The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising,—
    All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    “The second day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Two turtle doves,”
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 4–6)

    “My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one,
    and come away.
    For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
    The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;”
    —Bible: Hebrew The Song of Solomon (l. II, 10–12)
