Tortuga is a most excellent endeavor to build an real-life interactive turtle interpreter that works on normal whiteboards. It is a SSE project that hopes to build both a useful learning tool for introductory computer science, as well as a framework for writing and drawing information that may be tedious or difficult to write down on a whiteboard.
The current vision is to build a small car that makes use of magnets, a Raspberry Pi, and several motors to move around a whiteboard with parallel functionallity to the python-turtle framework.
Contact either the Project Lead (Jesse Jurman -- jrj2703@rit.edu) or the SSE Projects Head (Morgan Cabral -- projects@sse.se.rit.edu) to learn more and get involved!
ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY!
This project covers lots of domains, and we can always use more hands! Make your resume all the shinier by working on a most bodacious project!
