TWILGO is a simplified version of the LOGO programming language for Twitter. But, as that probably doesn’t mean anything to most people, all you need to know is that TWILGO is a cool new way to create awesome graphics using tweets!

By tweeting simple commands like FORWARD, LEFT and RIGHT followed by #twilgo, you can create a masterpiece. The only restriction is your imagination. That and Twitter’s 140 character limit, obviously.

So, what’s stopping you? You don’t need to be a master programmer to use TWILGO and if you’re not sure where to start, find something you like in the gallery, click ‘Use as template’ and you’ll be able to view the script in Twitter, enabling you to edit it and use it to create something of your own.
