+## Turtle graphics
+
+- yesterday Elizabeth had the great idea to create a turtle robot to go with the paper computer
+- a minimal LOGO would be a fantastic (if challenging) program to write for the computer
+  - it could use the hex keypad:
+    - using CHIP-8 layout...
+    - A key: mode toggle
+    - mode 1: numeric
+    - mode 2: commands (tokens?)... something like this:
+      - `F` - mode toggle
+      - `2` - forward
+      - `4` - left
+      - `6` - right
+      - `0` - reverse
+      - `5` - turn
+      - `1` - pen up
+      - `C` - pen down
+
+## Dot-matrix display
+
+- Maybe try 5x5, like the micro:bit?
