DOS' little turtle
1 Page: [ 1 ]
I was just curious about it: how many of you start using the pc with the DOS turtle? XD Its just that today's kids learn with XP and I'm sure soon there will be Vista available in schools. Back in my days there was not even a decent Windows version. XD I do remember our first lessons were all in DOS but what I remember the most is that little turtle, we make it turn in different directions and draw lines.^^ I cant believe how much has change in all these years, the newer generations are really lucky to count with the lastest tech and programs.
Anyway, anyone else remembers the turtle or its just me?

I don't remember anything about a turtle. I do remember, though, going through tons of cd, dir, rem, and cp commands.

I first started out on an old texas instruments computer with onlly handful of ram and audio tapes as mass storage. I wrote my first program on it when I was 14 I think. Nowadays my calculator has more processing power then that old thing.. hell, even cell phones today are more of a computer then that old thing! XD
Oh crap this makes me sound old!!

I remember that stupid program. the most idiotic part about is you to type a lot of crap just to make it do what you want. i always wondered how the hell are we going to use these in real life. nowadays kids learn basic programming at highschool. i'm so jealous...
And C++! I just got done with Basic in my high school and now we on to C++! And then after that, its I think Javascript, not sure though.

You mean LOGO. Well, my first lessons were in DOS too. Then later with more advanced LOGO called Microworlds on Windows. Now, there can be tons of turtles in one screen, you can chage their shape, or even write procedures for a simple text encryption. I also miss those days.

However in my time LOGO didn't run on dos .. but on ACORN / BBC Microcomputer System etc.

LOGO for windows .. :)

The repeat command would have achieved that square in a single line of code.

Just fragments of code I remembered from a very long time ago.. :)
I usually got bored after the 10th line of logo code and started to play Space Invader,
Hence I never became a code monkey but became an Administrator with a grudge against Aliens from outer space.
