Thanks for the comments everyone! There's no turtle. I called it Turtle Art because I was inspired by other programming languages (Logo & TurtleArt) that have little turtles that can leave a path behind them as they walk across the screen.
I made a really small sprite (I just painted a dot in the Scratch paint editor). Then the sprite moves back and forth, leaving a pen trail as it goes. The color of the pen is based on the current location of the sprite.
Download "TurtleArt"(2 sprites and 2 scripts) and open it in Scratch
Project Notes
This project was inspired by Turtle Art software, created by Brian Silverman and Paula Bonta at Playful Invention Company
INSTRUCTIONS
Click the Green Flag to start.
HOW I MADE THIS
The sprite uses its pen to draw a series of lines, each with a different color. For each line, the sprite moves out 300 steps, back 298 steps, then turns one degree. The color and brightness of each line depends on the sprite's x-position and y-position when it starts drawing the line.
MORE IDEAS
What if each line was shorter, or longer? What if the pen color depended on the sprite's y-position instead of its x-position?
