DoodleForge

Draw it with a loop. A pen goes forward, turns, and repeats — and out comes a square, a star, a spiral, a flower. Read the little program (a for-loop, a turn, a growing length), predict the picture it draws, then watch the pen make it. The Logo turtle, re-imagined as a read-before-you-run puzzle — the clearest way to SEE what a loop does. A draw-with-code lab. Ages 9–14.

Built for sittings of about 20 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.
