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!
