Is it time for freebsd-kids or freebsd-toys yet? :-)

There is the ucblogo-3.3. in ports/lang/logo. I haven't
played with it in ages so no idea how it has evolved but it
does have X windows interface. MSWLogo is the one I like.
Con: it only works on M$ Windows. Pros: It is based on
ucblogo; its author, George Mills, has put in a heck of a lot
of work especially in supporting multimedia. it is fairly
easy to make it play music/sound, do animation etc. It comes
with a demo that has a nice set of examples for doing many of
these things. Check out

and

The same can be done in the FreeBSD world now that it has
such good multimedia support.
