Pilot programming?
-
I have a 10 old nephew that I want to start on the road of computers (at least for the fun of it, not for a profession). After all these years, I faintly remember Pilot programming with a Pen up Pen down type draw commands. IIRC, it was pretty easy for novices to get started with the idea of programming. Anyone know of a good version (for free) that would work for a 10 year old and runs on Windows? .NET version may even be fun if it exists. And no, I do not want to ruin his life and introduce him to BASIC ;) Rocky <>< www.HintsAndTips.com - Now with "Recommendation" postings www.MyQuickPoll.com - Now with Recent Poll List www.GotTheAnswerToSpam.com - Again :)

No worries. I remember it clearly because my first big program was a paint program called 'Turtle' after the imaginary turtle in Logo :-) Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer

That was cruel. I find it hard to explain to people why learning assembler is so important. (maybe it isn't anymore) Regardz Colin J Davies Attention: It's finally arrived, The worlds first DSP.

Oh yes it is. Richard "Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer --Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

Logo was so cool. I remember annoying the teacher by turning all the monitors into seizure inducing disco balls;P
This demographic will quite happily click on shiny things however:laugh:
Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
