Introduction to MSW Logo:

What is MSW Logo?

MSW Logo is a special computer programming language that helps students learn coding by using
a friendly "turtle" that moves and draws shapes on the computer screen. It's a fun way to
understand basic programming concepts!

Interesting History Fact


Did you know that Logo was first created in 1967 by four amazing scientists:
- Seymour Papert
- Daniel G. Barbaro
- Wally Phil Jag
- Cynthia Solomon

The MSW Logo Window

Main Screen Components

- Title Bar: Shows the file name


- Menu Bar: Contains different options
- Turtle Playground: Where the turtle moves

The Turtle's World


The turtle is like a little digital friend that follows your commands. It has:
- A head (pointed top)
- A tail (bottom part)

Basic Turtle Commands

The simple Logo Drawing Commands move the Turtle forward and backward and also
turn it right or left. The commands and their abbreviations are given below −

•fd forward
•bk backward
•rt right
•lt left
•cs clearscreen

Example:

•forward 60 or fd 60 means go forward 60 steps


•right 90 or rt 90 means right turn 90 degrees
•left 90 or lt 90 means left turn 90 degrees
•back 60 or bk 60 means go back 60 steps
•clearscreen or cs means erase all drawings. This sets the turtle at the center
