I like the idea of using games as a motivation.  To wax philosophical, a
difficulty with systems like Logo and E-Toys is for the learner to
motivate themselves with a problem -- you start with a blank screen, and
must create not only an interesting solution, but an interesting
problem.  But robot's blasting each other?!  Come on!  How about a mouse
escaping from Cat's Haven, instead?

Eep!  I mean, Squeak!
