    What's the best implementation of LOGO for the Apple II?

    Any of them Prodos compatible?

    Apple did have a Logo that ran on top of ProDOS.

    I don't know which is the best. They all had different purposes.

    1984 state of play

    You should be able to find most of these in the Apple II Asimov archive under programming. There is a least one ProDOS one in there.

    Logo was supported into the 90s on the IIgs platform which included Hyper Logo, 3D Logo and LogoWriter.

    Cheers,

    Wow, I didn't know there were many. I remember using them on Apple 2s in
    6th grade class. I remember the teacher, Mr. Mangel (can't find him
    online), had a robotic turtle plotter to move and draw slowly on the
    ground on big paper! I even bought my Logo softare (it could do sounds!)
    for my //c.
