Hi Jesse,

MSWLogo has only one turtle I think.

In LogoWriter you would do it like this:-

tell [0 1] st  ;show turtle's 0 and 1
seth 90        ;sets heading of both turtles
repeat 100 [fd 1]  ;move both turtles

but this is boring because the motion of both turtles is exactly the same.
For a more realistic animation, use this:

repeat 100[ask 0[fd random 3] ask 1 [fd random 3]]

This creates a simulation of parallel processing.
----------------------------
With MicroWorlds it's easier because the parallel processing is built in:-

t1, forever[fd random 3]
t2, forever[fd random 3]

(if you're doing animations I'd recommend MicroWorlds)
