[starlogo-users] A short film using StarLogo

[James Mortensen]

Howdy!

  I posted this in the Yahoo! groups LogoForum, and Mr. Begel asked that I 
post it here too. I've been a fan of Logo back when my dad taught me the 
basics back on an old Apple ][e.It's funny just how much can be introduced 
with something as simple as a drawing turtle -I remember learning what a 
variable was before who the President currently was.
  I'm an animation student now (IE: Disney hand-drawn), but the fascination 
with programming and behaviour always stuck. I taught animation at a 
computer/arts camp this summer, and decided to pick up StarLogo to learn and 
play with, both for myself and with the kids. The kids were fascinated by 
Logo - those that knew C++ picked it up immediately and started fiddling 
with it. Even those that didn't wanted to learn to program.
  Anyways, I wanted to share the results of the summer's personal
experiments. It's a short film called "emerge", and it's up at
http://www.meridiandream.com/jim/films/emerge/ .

Hope you enjoy. :)
