Guido van Robot (GVR) is an educational tool to help students learn the Python programming language, ...a student writes a program that controls a 'robot' that moves through a city consisting of a rectangular grid of streets ...uses a minimalistic programming language providing just enough syntax to help students learn the concepts of sequencing, conditional branching, looping and procedural abstraction.

Colorful intro programming kits for little kids:

Scratch, highly graphical. Obscures the programming too much
in my opinion.

Etoys also too graphical.

Here's a crash course using YaBasic. YaBasic is 256KB and runs
on both Windows and Linux and has some 2D graphics (not covered in this web page).

Please... Here on /prog/ we tend to use more subtle insults.
The tool one was pretty blunt, but my answer wasn't better.
This one is just plain "I am retarded". You can do better than that.

Here on /prog/ you tend to be worthless jackasses spending all
day moving a few letters around in one line spam and typing in
superscript tags.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY PROGRAMMING BOARD YOU PIECE OF CRAP !

I see you're trying to start a /b/ typical newfag/oldfag argument. This board, /prog/ is for programmers being what they naturally are...trolls/assholes that put real discussion in between their trolling.

Nice try, >>53, but anyone can see he was merely referring to the type of argument you would like to have.

Nice try, >>54 but you really should get the fuck back to /g/ or wherever you came from.
