[Edu-sig] re-doing GvR in xturtle

[Scott Chapman]

I'm beginning work on moving GvR into xturtle.

The main reason I'm doing this is that I want to get over the language 
limitations that GvR currently has.  (No variable assignment, etc.)  In other 
words, I want to be able to teach much more of Python to young people with 
such an environment.  It'll take a while to get this done.  I'm new to TK 
programming.  I do web development.  If Crunchy had sufficient graphics and 
sandboxing, I'd probably do it all in Crunchy for web delivery, etc.  I'll 
keep an eye on their progress.

If anyone's interested in the results or has commentary, please let me know.

Eventually, it would be very nice to have a whole curriculum around such an 
environment, with teaching materials, quizzes, tests, answer keys, etc.

If anyone has already done this, please let me know.  I'd rather not reinvent 
this if I don't have to.

Cordially,
Scott
