Study Notes
Introduction to MSW Logo
- MSW Logo is a software that uses the Logo language, a simple command language, to draw shapes on the computer.
- Logo stands for Logic Oriented Graphic Oriented, and it was designed in 1967 by four computing scientists: Seymour Papert, Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, and Cynthia Solomon.
Opening MSW Logo
- To open MSW Logo, click the Start button, select All Programs, and click Microsoft Windows Logo from the program list.
- The MSW Logo software will open with two windows: Main Screen and Commander Window.
Main Screen and Commander Window
- The Main Screen is where the picture is drawn and contains a small triangle at the center called the turtle.
- The Commander Window is where commands are entered and executed.
Parts of the Logo Turtle
- The turtle has two parts: the Head (the pointed top) and the Tail (the bottom part).
- The turtle can be moved by giving commands in the form of Logo language or Logo commands.
Moving the Logo Turtle
- The turtle can be moved in all directions using specific commands.
- The FORWARD command moves the turtle forward, and it can be typed in capital or small letters (e.g., FORWARD, Forward, forWard).
- The turtle moves 100 steps forward when the FORWARD 100 command is entered and the Enter key is pressed.
Turning the Logo Turtle
- The RIGHT command turns the turtle towards the right, and it can be typed as RT.
- The LEFT command turns the turtle towards the left, and it can be typed as LT.
- The turtle head turns anticlockwise or towards the left when the LEFT 90 command is entered and the Enter key is pressed.
Creating a Route Map
- To create a route map, open the MSW Logo software and create a turtle file.
- Commands can be entered in the Command Input Box to draw the path.
- The turtle moves according to the commands entered, and the responses are seen as the turtle movement in the Main Screen.
Saving the Image File
- To save the created direction map, select Save from the Bitmap menu.
- The image file is saved as a BMP file, and it can be saved in the My Documents folder or any other location.
