We need more simple exercises in welcome lesson

mquinson commented 12 years ago

Now that the linearity is gone, we are free to add more and more exercises to the welcome lesson. Ideally, they would show interesting constructions to arose the student curiosity. Since we want to populate the welcome lesson, sorting and recursion are not an option (simple exercise mandating these notions should be moved to the right lesson).

Here are some ideas:* Spirolaterals in LOGO (see THE ART OF SPIROLATERAL REVERSALS by Robert J. Krawczyk)

L-systems in LOGO (see The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants http://algorithmicbotany.org/papers/#abop)
LOGO allows to draw a whole lot of beautiful graphs, such as euler spiral (see http://jsxgraph.uni-bayreuth.de/wiki/index.php/Category:Curves)

Other ideas can be stolen from JavaScool http://javascool.gforge.inria.fr/
