TurtleAI: Benchmarking Multimodal Models for Visual Programming in Turtle Graphics
Vision-language models (VLMs) have been explored for visual programming, where they generate code to solve visual tasks. However, most prior work focuses on visual programming for productivity; it remains unclear how well current VLMs perform on education-oriented visual programming and what factors limit their performance. To bridge this gap, we introduce TurtleAI, a benchmark containing 823 tasks curated based on real-world visual programming tasks in the Turtle Graphics domain. Solving these
