<p>Hi Mark</p>
<p>I think Benjamin wants to _do_ Turtle graphics. </p>
<p>What about this package</p>
<p><a
href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Morphic/blob/master/Pen.pck.st">Morphic/Pen.pck.st
at master · Cuis-Smalltalk/Morphic · GitHub</a></p>
<p>It is in a repository of Ken Dickey. Not sure if you can call
that 'abandoned'.<br>
</p>
<p>I do not know how much much maintenance that needs but it looks
like something Benjamin can check out. If there are issues people
on this list are surely ready to help. <br>
</p>
<p>I also remember having seen Pen implementations in other
repositories as well. <br>
</p>
<p>Regards<br>
</p>
<p>Hannes<br>

<div dir="ltr">Benjamin, the Pen class is not well-supported
in Cuis Smalltalk. I asked a question about it on this
mailing list on October 5 last year and received the
following response:

<div>Some things have been made obsolete by much better
options. This is one of them. VectorGraphics offers way
more flexibility and unbelievable better quality
graphics.<br>
<br>
We need to classify packages in, perhaps, these
categories:<br>
1 - Abandoned.<br>
2 - Maintained, but only for historical value. Use
beyond that is not recommended.<br>
3 - Somewhat maintained. Bitrot possible, and usually
fixed in no more than a couple of months. If bugs are
reported, someone fixes them in no more than a few
weeks.<br>
4 - Maintained. Someone or several people act as
maintainers. They regularly use it and problems are
detected and fixed quickly. If a bug is reported, it is
acknowledged in no more than a few days, and fixed in no
more than a week or two.<br>
<br>
The<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span><span
class="gmail-il">Pen</span><span
class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span>package
would be in category 1, unless someone volunteers to
maintain (and fix!) it. In any case, it would never go
beyond 2, unless someone rewrites it to use Vector
Graphics.<br>

I am a Cuis Smalltalk beginner I'm on chapter 4 of the
Cuis Book, but I've done a lot of Logo, so I wanted to
play around with the turtle graphics package. Could
someone write a simple program using the Turtle class
and Pen subclass to draw a shape on the screen? I am not
clear how this all works in Cuis. Thank you.</div>
