Lua Turtle
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This is a classical implementation of turtle graphics in Lua, meant to make that language accessible and fun to learn.
Other Lua turtle implementations exist, but work a bit differently from the original version or are tricky to run.
This version can be dragged as a folder onto the LOVE2D app (or otherwise run as a regular LOVE2D game) and edited interactively in a normal text editor like Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code. It's meant to be interactive, iterative, intuitive, and fun to learn.
For more details on the interesting history and powerful learning methods of Turtle Graphics, read the book Mindstorms: Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas, by Seymour Papert, available as a PDF from the estate of the author: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.5555/1095592
