- For
- Beginner Python learners and classroom teachers
- Worth noticing
- Python runs in the browser via Pyodide; the teacher arena is designed for bot battles on a projector.
Field notes
The homepage separates the beginner route from the bot-writing step, then adds a teacher-facing arena for group play. Turtle Trail introduces loops, colors, functions, and conditionals; separate handbooks cover Turtle commands and the robot API. The page labels the project Prototype v0.2 and the Robot API v1, so its stated browser-based Python workflow is presented as an early-stage project rather than a finished classroom platform.
