CLUSTER PROGRAMMING-TURTLE-TEACHES · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-04-19
Educational turtle graphics apps
This cluster consists of educational tools that teach programming through turtle graphics and visual or code-based drawing. The dated history shows a single entry in 2017, then a gap until 2022, followed by entries in 2024 and 2026, indicating a sparse but recurring presence. Traction leaders (KTurtle, pythonquest, Flip Sticks) all show zero activity signal, so no product stands out.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
