 ===== History =====
-In the 1960s, an educational programming language called Logo was developed. It is best known for teaching programming with turtles! The turtles were graphical or robotic turtles that were controlled with simple commands like go forward or turn right. Here’s a photo of a robot turtle from the 1960s.

 ===== Java "Animated" APLU Turtle =====
+An animated version from Berne, Switzerland has so many classes, they put them all in a Library.  This library is in a file called {{ ::jturtle-0.1.1.jar |jturtle-0.1.1.jar}}.  [[https://mathorama.com/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to_install_the_library_in_bluej| Click here for instructions on how to install it in BlueJ]], and [[https://mathorama.com/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to_install_the_library_in_eclipse|click here for instructions to install a .jar library in Eclipse]]

+Here is an example of a Turtle instance that can make a hexagon, fill it in with a color, and "autographs" it:
