Love it, and don't let the 5+ dissuade you – Move the Turtle: Learn to Code Review

What a wonderful app. My 4yo would be considered too young according to the description, but i was extremely surprised to see how quickly she picked up on some of the core concepts (move, pen up, pen down, colors, angle, sound). Repeat loops are above her level at this time, but she loved the colors, the smart gem outline matching, etc. If anything, i wish there were a way for me to define some additional tasks for her to solve. The level of complexity rises a little too quickly in the current samples. I'd also love to see some additional animals/objects, and more advanced sound options, eg the option to have a shorter pause, repeat over c/c+ with zero pause to create laser-like effects, variables for the sounds to generate increasing note ranges, a rainbow pen option, etc. I looked a long time for a decent app to get her introduced to the joys of programming. This is he best option I've found. It brings me back to the first time i was able to do simple things with cbm64 basic. Oh, and one more thing, please incorporate some sort of program exchange, so people can show off their code, import the examples of others, etc. Lovely job. This app will be big, I'm certain of that! Get it.
