== Implementations == {{anchor|DrLogo}} <!--The page Dr. Logo redirects here--> {{Redirect|Apple Logo|the logo of Apple Inc.|Apple logo}} [[File:IBM LCSI Logo Welcome Screen.png|thumb|IBM LCSI Logo welcome screen]] [[File:IBM LCSI Logo Circles.png|thumb|Source code and output in IBM LCSI Logo]] Some modern derivatives of Logo allow thousands of independently moving turtles. There are two popular implementations: [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]]'s [[StarLogo]] and [[Northwestern University]] Center for Connected Learning's (CCL) [[NetLogo]]. They allow exploring [[emergence|emergent phenomena]] and come with many experiments in social studies, biology, physics, and other areas. NetLogo is widely used in agent-based simulation in the biological and social sciences. Although there is no agreed-upon standard, there is a broad consensus on core aspects of the language. In March 2020, there were counted 308 implementations and dialects of Logo, each with its own strengths.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://pavel.it.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/logotree/pdf/LogoTree.pdf |title=The Logo Tree Project |website=elica.net |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090306084150/http://elica.net/download/papers/LogoTreeProject.pdf |archive-date=2009-03-06 |access-date=2020-03-25 }}</ref> Most of those 308 are no longer in wide use, but many are still under development. Commercial implementations widely used in schools include ''[[MicroWorlds]] Logo'' and ''Imagine Logo''. Legacy and current implementations include: ; First released in 1980s: * Apple Logo for the [[Apple II Plus]] and Apple Logo Writer for the [[Apple IIe]], developed by Logo Computer Systems, Inc. (LCSI), were the most broadly used and prevalent early implementations of Logo that peaked in the early to mid-1980s. * Aquarius LOGO was released in 1982 on cartridge by [[Mattel]] for the [[Mattel Aquarius|Aquarius]] home computer. * [[Atari Logo]], developed by LCSI, was released on cartridge by [[Atari Inc|Atari, Inc.]] in 1983 for the [[Atari 8-bit computers]]. * Color Logo was released in 1983 on cartridge (26β2722) and disk (26β2721) by [[Tandy Corporation|Tandy]] for the [[TRS-80 Color Computer]]. * Commodore Logo was released, with the subtitle "A Language for Learning", by [[Commodore International]]. It was based on MIT Logo and enhanced by Terrapin, Inc. The [[Commodore 64]] version (C64105) was released on diskette in 1983; the [[Commodore Plus/4|Plus/4]] version (T263001) was released on cartridge in 1984.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.zimmers.net/commie/docs/cbm-products.txt |title=Canonical List of Commodore Products |date=2017-10-30 |access-date=2017-12-03 |last1=Brain |first1=Jim |last2=Zimmerman |first2=Bo |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171220005631/http://www.zimmers.net/commie/docs/cbm-products.txt |archive-date=2017-12-20 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://plus4world.powweb.com/software/Logo |title=Logo β Software Details |website=Plus/4 World |access-date=2017-12-03 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171204171250/http://plus4world.powweb.com/software/Logo |archive-date=2017-12-04 }}</ref> * SmartLOGO was released on cassette by [[Coleco]] for the [[Coleco ADAM|ADAM]] home computer in 1984. It was developed by LCSI and included a primer, ''Turtle Talk'', by Seymour Papert. * ExperLogo was released in 1985 on diskette by Expertelligence Inc. for the [[Macintosh 128K]]. * Hot-Logo was released in the mid-1980s by EPCOM for the [[MSX]] 8-bit computers with its own set of commands in Brazilian Portuguese. * TI Logo (for the [[TI-99/4A]] computer) was used in primary schools, emphasizing Logo's usefulness in teaching computing fundamentals to novice programmers. * Sprite Logo, also developed by Logo Computer Systems Inc., had ten turtles that could run as independent processes. It ran on Apple II computers, with the aid of a Sprite Card inserted in one of the computer's slots. * IBM marketed their own version of Logo (P/N 6024076), developed jointly by Logo Computer Systems, Inc. (LCSI), for their then-new IBM PC. * [[ObjectLOGO]] is a variant of Logo with [[object-oriented programming]] extensions and lexical scoping.
