How to obtain KTurtle
Programming Environment. Contribute to KDE/kturtle development by creating an account on GitHub. New pull request. Clone or download. Download KDE on Windows for free. This project is an auxiliary project for the Windows port of KDE - the K Desktop Environment from It provides. KTurtle 1.0, KTurtle is an educational programming environment for the KDE Desktop. KTurtle aims to make programming as easy and touchable as possible, and therefore can be used to teach kids the basics of math, geometry.
Getting the current stable version of KTurtle
If you want to use KTurtle it is best to use the packages that come with your distribution (this assumes you're running some sort of free operating system, for instance Linux). Most distributions ship KTurtle, some as a separate package, some as part of the kde-edu package (a package containing all KDE's educational projects).
If you are running Microsoft Windows or MacOSX you consider:
- installing a Linux distribution or running a so called liveCD, or
- waiting for a while, since the next version of KDE (KDE 4) will most likely run on Microsoft Windows and MacOSX as well.
Getting the current development (trunk) version of KTurtle
If you are interested in building the latest KTurtle (for those who don't know: KDE4 is not released yet, it is indevelopment, it takes some time/experience with builing code/courage to build), it is not that difficult, there is a nice tutorial here:
http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Getting_Started/Build/KDE4
In the end of the tutorial you'll find that the writer is building 'kanagram', instead of kanagram you'll be building 'kturtle' ofcourse (and you dont need to build 'libkdeedu') after all changes this last code block will be:

I maintain a bit of a changlog from KDE3's KTurtle to the KTurtle in kde trunk (KDE4). There is also a google group devoted to discussing KTurtle's development.

KTurtle is a Logo programming language interpreter for KDE
|
Kturtle Free Download For Windows 7 Ultimate
KTurtle is a Logo programming language interpreter for KDE. The Logo programming language is very easy and thus it can be used by young children. A unique quality of Logo is that the commands or instructions can be translated (please see the translation how to if you want to help in your own language), so the 'programmer' can program in his or her native language.
This makes Logo ideal for teaching kids the basics of programming, mathematics and geometry. One of the reasons many children like Logo is because of the turtle, a programmable icon which can be moved around the screen with simple commands and can be programmed to draw objects.
As for now, Bresilian Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Norwegian (Bokm?l and Nynorsk), Slovenian, Serbian (Cyrillic and Latin), Spanish and Swedish are available. Please see the translation page for credits about language contributors and to know how to add your language to KTurtle.
Here are some key features of 'KTurtle':
an integrated Logo interpreter, no need to download any other program
a powerful editor for the Logo commands with syntax highlighting, line numbering and more
a nice 'playground' for the turtle where your commands are 'displayed'
translation of the Logo commands in 10 languages: Dutch, English (US and GB), French, German, Italian, Serbian (cyrillic and latin), Slovenian and Swedish
full-screen mode
context help for each Logo command
Most important features of KTurtle that ships with KDE 3.4:
GUI
indicative syntax highlighting
printing and saving of the canvas
rotating turtle icon that hints the direction
canvas 'wrapping', so the turtle cannot get lost
fullscreen execution
Interpreter
translatable syntax using XML files
user defined functions (learning)
execution controllers (while, if, for, repeat, break)
dynamic type switching
flexible syntax
execution can be slowndown
Educational features
simplified programming terminology
translated example LOGO programs
much improved error handling and messages
errors link directly to the mistakes in the code
F2 command-at-cursor help
the current command is highlighted in the code
