+GrateBear Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Anyone know where I can find an encoder for Turtle? Looked on the geocaching toolbox, but couldn't find it. Just found a decoder for it, but not an encoder. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

+Kalkendotters Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Since I cannot find a turtle-decoder, my guess is that it is a Logo-interpreter. Logo is a programming language that uses the concept of a steerable 'turtle' to write programs. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_graphics and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language) What you call a turtle-decoder is than in fact an interpreter for the turtle-language. This also means that there is no such thing as a turtle-encoder, because you have to write a program that draws characters or numbers. Ans like any programming language that can be done in a lot of different ways. Can you give a link to the 'turtle-decoder' ? 2 Quote Link to comment
+GrateBear Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Yes, it is a logo-interpreter: https://www.calormen.com/jslogo/ Can't figure out how to go the other way, ie, encode something. Quote Link to comment

Since it is a programming language, you have to make a program to draw the numbers you want. That sounds complicated but it is relatively simple. You have a few 'commands' that move the turtle, turn the turtle, and raise or lower the pen. As Logo is designed to teach children to program, it should be possible to learn/write it yourself clearscreen forward 100 penup right 90 forward 100 right 90 pendown forward 100 With this simple program you write '11' Edited June 28, 2020 by Kalkendotters 2 Quote Link to comment
