Using MSW Logo

Using MSW Logo is a little tricky but it is fun. Here is one way to make a square pattern:

1. MSW Logo
Download from www.softronix.com/logo.html - just click on Setup Kit and do what you’re told!

Lesson 1
In the command window (bottom of screen) type fd 200 and press Enter.
Type rt 90 and press Enter. What happened?

Click on Reset to start again. Now make a square.
How would you make a rectangle? Bigger square? Smaller square?


Lesson 2
Click on File – Edit. A little Procedure box opens.
Type sq in the title space and click OK.
Write a program for making a square. It should look like this –

To sq
fd 200 rt 90 fd 200 rt 90 fd 200 rt 90 fd 200 rt 90
End

Now go to File -
Save and Exit.

Type sq and Enter. Type rt 30 and Enter. Repeat sq rt 30 until you complete the pattern.

Save as a bitmap in a safe place!

Lesson 3
Open Paint and File – Open – browse to your logo picture. Centre it in the Paint screen, then colour in and save appropriately.

Taylor and I found this very difficult so I'm super impressed by the designs some of the students have come up with. Very clever indeed!
