I've been thinking about trying to do something rather complicated, but
then I stepped back and was like, well, a problem is much more easily surmountable if I break it down into smaller pieces. So I figured - for a project I want to do - what would be the best place to start?

The ultimate idea was to try to reimplement Logo - but the part I think
that will give me the best feeling of achievement, and the one most useful outside of the Logo context, is the Terrapin. So I figured...perhaps the
next step would be to implement the Terrapin as an & library for BASIC: commands like &FD, &BK, &LT, &RT, &HOME, &ROT= (equivalent to SETHEADING
in Terrapin Logo), &HT, &ST, &PU, &PD, &PE, &X= (SETX), &Y= (SETY), &GOTO (SETXY), &HGR (to clear the hi-res screen but also redraw the Terrapin);
and a USR() to implement something like Terrapin Logo's TOWARDS. (These
are, afaict, the full suite of graphics commands which is supported by Terrapin Logo 1.0)

This would prove to be about a pain in the neck, although availing myself
of FPBASIC functionality to implement this would certainly be useful. For example, the HPOSN and HGLIN functions would mean that actually drawing
lines can be left to FPBASIC (although the actual calculations of the Terrapin's target position would need to be done in ASM, as well as implementing the wrapping when the Terrapin goes off the edge of the
screen), and the same code that implements XDRAW could also be used to
draw and undraw the Terrapin.

After that comes the bit of trying to figure out what-all *is* Logo, since even the manuals I've seen don't even scratch the surface of what it can
do outside of graphics.

I think this is a great idea. And it would be twice as good in double
high-res. Pun intended. Haha. Beagle Graphics contains a similar &
"library" for DHGR in BASIC: https://beagle.applearchives.com/Software/Beagle%20Graphics.zip

A lot of what makes Logo great is it's ability to do recursion and unfortunately, BASIC can't do that. What would be nice is to have an
extended BASIC interpreter that has real subroutines with parameters, recursion, line numbers optional, real libraries, etc. Most of the time
it could just call into the existing Applesoft BASIC in ROM, to do
the work, but implement a more sophisticated front-end syntax.

I'm working on a BASIC compiler that eventually would be able to do
these things, but my progress is very slow.

I'm well familiar with Beagle Graphics - used to mess around with its
paint program (one of the earliest to support a mouse!) when I was a kid.

Actually, the sum-total of my idea is to create a Logo for another,
non-Apple, 6502 project, but I wanted to use the Apple ][ to prove my
concepts before moving onto the other project, and I wanted to implement
just the turtle before I tried to implement Logo - start easy, then move
to harder.

When I wrote my previous reply, I was half-awake. Bit more awake, so I'll comment a bit further.

I was (still am) having trouble wrapping my head around how to implement turtle graphics, esp. in a way that would be compact enough to actually be useful. But I did determine that availing myself of FPBASIC ROM code
would make it easier, since it wouldn't be necessary to reinvent the
wheel. Drawing the lines could be done with HPOSN and HGLIN; the same
code that can be used for XDRAW could also be used to draw and undraw the terrapin cursor.

MIT Logo (Terrapin Logo 1.0) is about 32K; I'm curious if that can be
knocked down.

BASIC can do recursion--you just have to be careful with your
variables. Here's a program which has a routine that calculates
factorials recursively:

10 N = 5
20 GOSUB 1000
30 PRINT F
40 END
1000 F = 1
1010 IF N = 1 THEN RETURN
1020 N = N - 1
1030 GOSUB 1010
1040 N = N + 1
1050 F = F * N
1060 RETURN

I don't know if you are into re-creating the wheel, but there is an excellent Turtle program for Applesoft basic that covers all the commands you just described. It uses Applesoft floating point heavily to calculate the angles and so forth.
And have you heard of DublStuff? Sorry BB, but it is quite a bit better than Beagle and DRAW and XDRAW commands can be used on hi-res shapes to display on the dbl-hi-res screen.
When I converted over to Prodos, I stripped a lot of the unnecessary turtle commands down to just 4. & MOVE, &TURN, &HPLOT TO, &COLOR. The MOVE moves to any absolute coordinate without plotting and HPLOT plots a line in the direction set by TURN and COLOR. So you can still do forward and backward plots and PENUP/PENDOWN are eliminated.

I think I'm going to need to write out the ultimate breakdown of
everything to explain basically what's going on:

1. Turtle graphics using FPBASIC
2. Small text editor for use as a Logo procedure editor
3. Logo interpreter
4. 6502 debugger (possibly derived from Woz's, though I'd like to make it merely compatible with it if possible)
5. Fork of FPBASIC, so that the debugger, FPBASIC and Logo can be ported
to some hypothetical 65C02 system a friend is working on
6. Get everything up on Apple ][, Apple /// and the hypothetical system

I tried that as well, but there is no color detail in a hi-res shape, so no way to convert to dbl-hi-res color. A shape would need to have 4-bits for each bit drawn. I gave up on it and went to bitmap shapes for dbl-hi-res instead. Not only faster, but the shape table I create this way can also be used for IIGS Super-hi-res graphics. There are also 2 hires to dbl-hires convertor routines by Beagle Bros and I wrote a 3rd that does a bit better at retaining the same colors as the hi-res screen.

If you need to save local variables, you can make your own stack with

Just be aware that the stack is limited for both LOGO, Applesoft and ML. It only has a 256 byte range. Meaning each recursion puts 2-bytes on the stack for ML whereas each GOSUB will put 5 bytes on the stack. Unsure what LOGO pushes on the stack.

For assembly, instead of using the GOSUB 1010 in line 1030, it would be "JSR address" of where in memory line 1010 started.

There's also the option in some languages of implementing them with an emulated stack instead of using the CPU stack (iirc, this is what CC65
does).

Honestly, I think I'd do this for Logo - because it's highly likely with
the design of functions in Logo that programs would eat stack very
quickly, it might be better to set aside a second stack, possibly larger
than the system stack, to handle functions.

Hi Steve,

There's also the option in some languages of implementing them with an emulated stack instead of using the CPU stack (iirc, this is what CC65 does).

While it's true that cc65 uses what you call an emulated stack, it still
uses the 6502 stack for the return addresses of function calls. So the theoretical limit for recursion is still 128 levels.

Oliver

So because I couldn't wrap my head around the necessaries of writing the turtle graphics implementation in 6502 ASM, I decided to take a step back,
and implement it in a language that would allow me to quickly prototype it...QuickBasic. This implementation is obviously not for an Apple (it's
for a PC) and there's no way to draw/undraw the cursor, but it's a start.

If porting to an Apple and writing in ASM I'd want to repurpose the floating-point stuff already in FPBASIC, as well as leveraging XDRAW to implement the Terrapin (you can draw at any angle and position, then do it again to undraw).

This is one of the three major components, alongside a text editor and a parser, that would probably be necessary in order to do that Logo implementation I wanted to do (for purposes _other_ than Apple ][ stuff, ultimately, but...let's start simple first, eh?)

I chose QuickBasic for multiple reasons: (1) it's similar to FPBASIC but
the procedural extensions make it better suited for what I'm trying to do;
(2) it's not that hard to figure out the code logic; (3) all the
functionality I need to do what I've done is built in. Note that it's
rough around the edges.

Ultimately I plan to get this all written into 65C02 ASM, add the
necessaries for Logo, and create a minimalist Logo interpreter that builds
off the FPBASIC code - but first things first.
