Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing Less-Java's existing library and language integration points, then compare the linked Python and C libraries with candidate Java implementations. Done means Turtle graphics are accessible to Less-Java programs, with an agreed scope and coverage for the new functionality.

Description

enhancement help wanted

Turtle graphics are a fun way to introduce people to program using visual output rather than textual output. I have run several successful outreach events using the Python library and have also written a C library for it. A simple web search turns up several candidate implementations for Java, and having it easily accessible in Less-Java would facilitate doing similar activities. This would perhaps also help with #24.
