MicroWorlds Animations

The following programs are a collection of examples most of which I have created for my own amusement or as
teaching aids. You are welcome to download copies and play with them. You may also place copies on your website as long as you add a link to this page and e-mail me details of where you are using them.

If you switch to the procedures page using Ctrl + F or Pages | Procedures you will see that most of these examples use procedures. if the example has no procedures then right click on the turtle and see if there is any code programmed directly into the turtle.

Colours can also have code associated with them. Click on the Paint Brush button to view the colour pallet.
any colours with a black dot in the center of the colour has logo code programmed into it. Double click on the colour to view the associated code.

Note: these example programs are written using MicroWorlds Version 2.05

This is a simple race between 4 turtles. The race however is currently rigged with an advantage to the fish.

The fish uses a procedure called race_faster

whereas the car uses a slightly slower version called race.

The turtles stop racing when they reach the colour green.

 

This project also demonstrated the process of animating a turtle with the trot procedure used by the horse.
