Examples

Bunch of examples available in the demo menu. Some more stuff here.

Basic Turtle commands

fd 100
lt 90
rt 45

Square

let square = repeat 4 (sequence[fd 50, lt 90])
square

Flower

let flower = repeat 36 (sequence[rt 10, square])
flower

Math

3 + 4
3 / 4
let factorial n = if n==1 then 1 else n * (factorial n - 1)
factorial 12

Strings

"apple" ++ "sauce"
"apple" + 10 (won't compile)

Lists

range 1 99
times 100 "lol"
head [1,2,3]
tail [1,2,3]
concat [1,2,3] [4,5,6]
length [1,2,3]
empty []
let reverse xs = if (empty xs) then [] else concat (reverse (tail xs)) [head xs]
reverse [1,2,3]
sum [1,2,3]
map (\x -> x * 2) [1,2,3]
filter (\x -> x > 1) [1,2,3]
foldl (\x y -> x * y) 1 [1,2,3]

Running

./start
