Logo

Hello,
going thru my disks i found a program called "logo". I know this is a programming language (it's on the ST 520 language disk).
Does someone know anything about this "strange" language? It's not like basic, even if print works...

Logo is a completely useless language for anything else than drawing. I had only two experiences with this language. The first was in my 8bit atari but after writing two programs and trying to save them on the tape I managed to kill it

. The second came after 2 years and when i was at high school and at the age of 13 and we had to learn some of it along with gwbasic. I managed to teach my teacher a few things at that class.
Other than it's an interpreter and it was created as an experiment to order a small robot (turtle looking) to draw a few lines, I haven't seen or heard anything else being done with logo. It is however one of the most important steps in the history of computing, that it is.

Let me see, i will scan the Logo Manual that came with the 520 ST, still, you should find a good logo tutorial on the net. I will post it at soon as i have it, please wait seated.

i can certainly say logo rules , we wouldn't have advanced if it weren't for the logo. at first glimpse it seems slow but if you programm on any level ,please admit ,it all seems slow.(that is pin-pointing a routine ,finding functions,and directing parameters, encorparating grafics). i guess logo is meant to be fun. ha ha he he!! well i use basic more than logo and have manuals for both, pm /email for any questions.

Thanks for all your help!!

For the moment i'm satisfied drawing circles, boxes, etc. It's easy to draw simple fractals using loops. Just want to play with it...
