This one is rich. I'm stuck on level 4, with the weird stair-steppy
structure.

LOL. Before I read that wiki, I did not know that only one of those
three words (turtle graphics/logo) meant what I thought it did.

But I agree. Its one of the first games I have found that is
challenging and fun, while the educational benefits are obvious, but
not too obvious.

BTW, the one I'm stuck on is about 12 or 15 mazes in, where there is a
series of 3 jumps to the midline of a stack of blocks. To the right is
a fes steps then a single light, and to the left is a few jumps, then
a walkway to a single block. If you are using optimal strategies, its
around where you have used 118 commands.

HINT: Consider that one of the goals is very near the start.
The one I'm stuck on is one or two puzzles later, there are 47 goals?!?!?

My son first learned about computing through turtle graphics/logo.
He ended up using it to put together a basic video game, a war game,
of course, betw a tank and a warplane.
