MSWLogo is a simple tool that lets you put programming skills to use: a free Logo programming environment for Windows created by George Mills of Softronics, Inc. on top of the UCBLogo core by Brian Harvey of the University of California, Berkeley. The interface is easy to use, and new users get acquainted with it quickly. It is aimed at students and people with limited programming experience who want to boost their skills. Besides being easy to learn and use, the software comes with a lot of relevant learning material that can be applied directly: a help file, an optional video tutorial on the basics, and The Great Logo Adventure book by Jim Muller, donated in electronic form. Some basic programming knowledge helps, but MSWLogo remains one of the simplest programming tools available. MSWLogo is free software released under the GNU General Public License, with its Borland C++ source code available, and it runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. It is also lightweight: the complete setup kit is only about 1.7 MB. The program lets you create not only 2D turtle drawings but also 3D perspective graphics in wire-frame and solid form.
The last version, 6.5b, was released in December 2002, and MSWLogo is no longer developed; its code lives on in the open-source FMSLogo project. MSWLogo supports around 1,024 independent turtles, bitmap operations, MIDI devices and WAV sound playback, input from COM and LPT ports, animated GIF output and Windows dialog boxes, so it can be used to create games and programs as practice. Community websites offer lessons and example projects.
MSWLogo is an easy-to-learn programming tool, offering interactive learning material, making coding simpler and engaging.
