Here's a great set of demos for Python's turtle graphics module: http://code.google.com/p/python-turtle-demo/ http://code.google.com/p/python-turtle-demo/ You can easily step through the source code for each demo to get a feel for the basics of programming and 2D computer graphics. There's a long slide deck included that goes over the features and their use as incremental teaching tools. Here's a standalone turtle game development tool that basically wraps python's turtle and gives it some comfortable defaults for people who aren't ready to think about python or modules just yet: http://pythonturtle.org/ http://pythonturtle.org/
