The above are the collection of challenges suggested by Barry Newell in the book - Turtle Confusion.

> Feel free to choose any of those 40 challenges and tinker around with the code to produce something similar. Also, it will be great if you can share that in the thread below along with specifying the pattern number.  
>   
> During the exploration, if you discover something new, share that as a challenge for the community members too! We would also love to hear the stories/insights of your discoveries. You can also re-publish the same as a new topic in the turtleChat.

Hi Sachin

Thanks for asking the query.

@nagarjunag @surendra can you guide regarding the linux installation of [turtle.sugarlabs.org](http://turtle.sugarlabs.org)?

For the python version of turtleArt, these links will be useful  
[https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html](https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html)

Here is the turtle- graphics library, [https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html](https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html)

Online environments:

Look for sugar desktop in the packages, and turtle activity. usually the package has activity as a suffix. Let me know if you manged to get it. Else will give you more clues.

> Here is brief summary of W1 We covered the basics of the turtleArt platform - both sugarlabs and python interface. The summary can be found below: [https://metastudio.org/t/getting-started-turtleart/4018](https://metastudio.org/t/getting-started-turtleart/4018) After the first session, we explored the python interface and how can one do documentation on the metastudio platform. The participants shared the progress of making a polygon in the thread below [https://metastudio.org/t/s1-23-june-2020-making-a-polygon-using-turtleart/4141/8](https://metastudio.org/t/s1-23-june-2020-making-a-polygon-using-turtleart/4141/8) In the second…

It would be nice to crop and keep the code block along with the artwork. That magnifies the image and enhances the visibility. So , I suppose this is inspired by puzzle 38 ? How do you came up with those values?
