Is there a dialect of LISP / Logo in Portuguese?

5

For children to program with words in English they can get in the way of understanding what everything is and does. I grew up with Superlogo in Dutch. Are there things like this in Portuguese?

KTurtle from The KDE Education Project ( documentation ).

  

KTurtle is an educational programming environment that uses TurtleScript, a loosely-based and Logo-inspired programming language. The goal of KTurtle is to make programming as easy and accessible as possible. This makes KTurtle suitable for teaching children the basics of Mathematics, Geometry and ... programming. One of the key features of TurtleScript is the ability to translate commands into the programmer's language.

Scratch of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (documentation ).

  

People today have access to an incredible variety of interactive games, stories, animations, simulations and other types of interactive and dynamic media on their computers, but for the most part, these programs are a one-way road: you can just view, click and use what was created by other people, you can not design and create your own programs.

     

Scratch changes this, expanding the range of what you can can design and create on your computer, making it easy to combine graphics, pictures, music and sounds to create interactive creations. With Scratch, you can create characters that dance, sing and interact with each other, or create spinning, spinning and animated images in response to mouse movements, or integrating images with sound effects and music clips to create a card birthday for a friend, or create an interactive school report.

xLogo ( documentation ).

  

XLOGO is a LOGO interpreter written in Java that currently runs in 8 languages: German, Arabic, French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Welsh and Esperanto. Distributed under the GPL license, it is a free software.

Tat Academy ( documentation ).

  

With Tat's Academy it's surprisingly easy to start creating incredible form with Logo Language

SuperLogo from the State University of Campinas (UniCamp) ( documentation ).

  

This free version of Logo in Portuguese was developed by UniCamp Nied based on MSWLogo (on MSWLogo it may be interesting to also try FMSLogo, with interfaces in English, Spanish, German and now also in Portuguese). >

wxLogo of the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA) (

  

The wxLogo project consists of the development of a multi-platform LOGO interpreter (with version for Windows and Linux, at least).

     

This project was created hoping to build with the cost savings of public school computer labs by providing a free program running on a free operating system. LOGO is widely used in computer labs as it stimulates students' logical thinking.

Other relevant alternatives to start programming with a child target audience or who are unfamiliar with English are:

  • G-Portugol

      

    G-Portugol is a structured programming language, entirely in Portuguese, derived from what is known today as "portugol" (a notation widely used to describe algorithms in Portuguese in a free and spontaneous way).

    algoritmo OlaMundo;
    início
      imprima("Olá, Mundo!");
    fim
    

    It's interesting to note that the language supports accented characters.

  • Scratch (MIT)

      

    Scratch is much more accessible than other programming languages, by using a graphical interface that allows programs to be assembled as assembly blocks, reminiscent of the Lego toy. Uses a syntax common to many programming languages. And unlike other languages, it does not have any kind of obscure punctuation.

There is, yes. I remember playing with Logo in school and it was in Portuguese. There were quite a few programs so in the 90's and early 2000's, but the still active ones the only one I remember is KTurtle.

Kturtle ( link ) is part of a suite of KDE educational applications. It has a language based on the Logo and can be translated. The latest version is for KDE4 and there is a translation into Portuguese!
