Working With Directories

Your Turtles (and other Java classes) are stored as files in a directory of your computer’s file system. Jurtle allows you to have a single directory loaded at a time. The path to the currently loaded directory is always shown in Jurtle’s title bar.

When Jurtle runs for the first time, the default directory is the Examples directory located in the Jurtle Workspace which has been automatically created for you. If you load a different directory, it will be remembered and automatically loaded the next time Jurtle starts.

There are several commands in the File menu specifically related to directories:

Recent Directories (submenu)
Create Directory
Load Directory

These commands are fully documented in the Reference section. There are also several buttons above the Class List which deal with loading new directories. These are mentioned in the next section.
