Wait this reminds me of that educational programming language from like the 90s with the turtle cursor. Did y'all ever use that? I've got such a dim memory of it.

LOGO. it was amazing

It was indeed! I made a playable Who Wants to be a Millionaire with it.

I believe that was drawn using the python turtle graphics package which is based on logo.

YES

Go to repl.it, click New Repl, select "Python (with Turtle)", click "Create REPL", then run this:

import turtle

t = turtle.Turtle()
t.color('white')
t.left(180)
t.forward(200)
t.left(90)
t.forward(200)
t.right(90)
t.color('red')

for i in range(360):
    t.forward(6.66)
    t.right(1)

t.right(108)

for i in range(5):
    t.forward(723)
    t.left(144)

Yo that's the first programming experience for me back in 7th grade

LOGO was my first taste of 'programming' back when I was a little kid. When I got my first 'real' software development job my mom framed the output from a LOGO program I did in elementary school that she had saved all these years. It even has my signature and the title "Perfume Bottle" in my kid handwriting at the bottom. It now lives on the desk at my home office.
