    Probably good for teaching kids. Microsoft is giving away (as in free) their Small Basic, and it works on Win7. More here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=b006d58d-c2c7-44ad-936b-e7e2d7de793e[^]

          Hey, this is pretty neat. Did you check out the built-in Turtle object?

          Turtle.Show()
          GraphicsWindow.KeyDown = KeyDown

          Sub KeyDown
          Turtle.TurnRight()
          Turtle.Move(100)
          EndSub

                  No it can turn in any direction, and can even turn by a given angle :-) The IDE itself is a WPF application! Pretty interesting stuff here!

                    Ah, the turtle program I used when I was younger could only turn left by turning right several times (or by a large angle).

                        Sounds like a SatNav in Milton Keynes[^], "Turn Right, Turn Right, Turn Right, Turn Right, you are lost"

                          Yeah. Now that I think about it, maybe it could turn both ways... might have just been a programming assignment to have it turn one way by turning the other way a few times.

                            The SmallBasic Turtle turns using a WPF animation. So it's pretty flexible (pity they didn't add 3d support).

                                          :laugh: That would be why I never watch NASCAR. MotoGP is much more exciting. I'm working on a training module to teach at-risk high school students a little bit of programming beyond the HTML/JavaScript they are already working with. I'll be using Small Basic. Easier to install. No solution/project files. Less overhead and no background knowledge required to start coding when compared to VS. "New" and start writing some code.
