Drawing a Sierpinski triangle with Logo on an Amstrad CPC

Original: Recursion is just the thing for # DrLogo on the # Schneider # CPC6128 . So let the tortoise do its work and draw a # Sie

A retrocomputing enthusiast has written a short recursive Dr Logo program that draws a Sierpinski triangle on a Schneider CPC6128, letting the turtle graphics cursor do the work. The fractal is produced by an elegantly compact routine, and the example is being shared with fellow fans of vintage 8-bit home computers as a showcase of how well-suited Logo's recursion is to fractal graphics.

Why now: Retrocomputing communities enjoy seeing elegant programs demonstrate old hardware like the Amstrad CPC doing graphics tricks.
