LOGOSPIN - A shareware LOGO program with something extra!

LOGOSPIN is an old "shareware" program that works on PC (It works on Windows 3.1 and 95 too!) Unlike any other LOGO program, LOGOSPIN has an extra command, spin, that makes lines and shapes move on screen. The speed of rotation is given along with the spin command - e.g: spin 3.

LOGOSPIN has a built in editor for creating procedures and can carry out all of the basic functions required by a school, but which other program lets you make working "ferris wheels" and "bicycles" with moving parts?

What is shareware?

Shareware is a well established and popular method of distributing software. You can download a free copy of the LOGOSPIN program from this webpage to use without restriction on your computer/computers or to distribute to families, children or other teachers. If you find the program useful or valuable, then you have the option to pay for a registered version that offers a load and save facility. The choice is up to you! - Details are within the supplied documentation.

I want it! - Give it to me now!

Quick instructions for those who are impatient.

When the program runs for the first time you will see a blank screen with a cursor at the bottom left hand side. (remember LOGO on a BBC?) To make the turtle appear type st - to show the turtle.

When you have finished type quit to close the program.

Repeating does not require brackets - e.g: repeat 4 fd 50 rt 90 - will make a square.

To edit a procedure type edit and the name of your procedure - e.g: on typing edit triangle - the edit screen will appear - press escape to return to the turtle screen to use your new procedure.

Enjoy!
