3.1 Draw a line

Type the following text in the command bar, followed by the ENTER key. The command bar is right under the menu bar, with Command: on the left hand side.

forward 200

This simple command tells the “turtle” to move forward 200 pixels (a pixel is a picture element, a dot on your screen). Note how the word changes its color as you type forward. When the word is green, it means XLogo recognizes it.

You can see the result of a command immediately after you press the ENTER key. This is partially why XLogo is fun to use.
