Coding - The Turtle Logo drawing program I wrote in Forth last month for my 4-year old daughter can now be freely downloaded from here: http://mathscitech.org/articles/downloads We've added quite a number of usability features including recordable macros so that we only have to create one cloud, one tree, one bird... Take it for a spin, especially if you have young children! It works on any version of Windows and has an auto-installer for ease.

The power of the Forth language is that the program is just ~500 lines of code. For those who would like to modify, extend, or just browse the code, full source is provided (GNU License).

If you decide to give it a try, just follow the instructions after downloading. Feel free to comment or ask for help here!

Would you like to write something about that cool program for our VD magazine? English is ok.

Hi Bernd, sure. Are there guidelines you can send (length, format, audience, back issues)?

+Assad Ebrahim We use LaTeX to typeset, so an LaTeX article is best. Audience: People who know Forth. Length: typically articles are between 2 and 10 pages.

You can find templates for articles in LaTeX and LyX here: empty.tex and empty-lyx.lyx.
