Hello Brian,
I agree with Vern Ceder thay pygame is the best for your purposes (probably
turtle, too, but personally don't know about that). Also, though, thought
I'd suggest that you could throw-in some material to illustrate the
syntactic similarities between python and javascript. I do a lot
Hi Brian,
I think both approaches (with or without graphics) are popular. I'm a grad
student and TA many different introductory courses, and I prefer teaching
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) with a graphics package.
You can see what I use at the OCW site for one of my classes, 6.189 -
You can do a lot of graphics with the turtle and no event handling. A
question is how much you want to get into event handling, vs just
generating pictures and animations and allowing sequential interaction with
the mouse.
Turtle graphics takes afirst-person point of view. Other simple graphics

Exhibit, old project: http://pygeo.sourceforge.net/
Arthur Siegel was the creator of this and he and I used to take a lot
of the bandwidth here on edu-sig hashing it out about various topics.
I still go back to that stuff. We have a great archive, lots of
spirited discussion.
