Hi everyone. I remember a while ago (like 4th grade) I had some kind of computer-related class and the teacher had us play this game that supposedly was supposed to help us understand programming a bit. Well, this was a while ago and I barely remember any of it. Can anyone try to steer me in the right direction? It really has been bugging me, I really want to find out what this game was. It was probably targeted to somewhat-younger people.

I've seen several programming-oriented games. The oldest one was Logo. I've seen a few Flash games. RoboRally is a programming board game.

Here's a small list I found from stackoverflow:

teaching - What's the best way to teach young kids some basic programming concepts? - Stack Overflow

Logo, as mentioned by WP, is also in the list.

I looked at Logo and it looks very familiar. I don't remember exact details though.

If it helps, I think I remember it having a storyline of some sort.

Logo = KTurtle ?



EDIT: @mebob: Do you remember what teacher it was? Maybe you might be able to email the teacher and request him for that piece of entertainment-related, query-resolving information.

Pretty much. You actually made me launch KTurtle, even though I downloaded it ages ago.
