Check this turtle out its a pretty basic that has some complex coolness.

You, um, made a square.

On of the most impresive learning tools I've seen in a long time is the Turtle Art program that comes with the OLPC machine. It uses interlocking code elements to show the student the basics of procedural programming.

I taught Terrapin Logo to kids grades second through fifth, many many years ago. The second graders started with squares.

well, its hard to post something overly complex considering I only have an hour per each library computer session, I will try to post something a little more "advanced" tomorrow ")

okay instead of a square lets try a cube.

This one will be fun for your second graders also

And this one is especially useful for the exploratory purpose of learning to use turtle graphix

[baavgai]

Nice. For turtles, I like the classics:

from turtle import *

speed("fastest")
color("blue")
down()
for i in range(36):
	for j in range(10):
		forward(50)
		right(36)
	right(10)
up()

Also, I'm not fond of goto. It breaks the metaphor of a turtle taking some steps, dipping it's tail in paint, picking it up and putting it down. What does a turtle know of x and y? It only need know move and turn. Here's a cube without goto, by way of example:

def DrawCube(size, zsize, boxColor, sideColor):
	def square(size):
		down()
		for step in range(4):
			forward(size)
			right(90)
		up()

	def side(size, zsize):
		down()
		right(45)
		forward(zsize)
		left(45)
		forward(size)
		left(135)
		forward(zsize)
		left(45)
		forward(size)
		right(180)
		up()
		
	color(boxColor)
	square(size)
	color(sideColor)
	side(size, zsize)
	right(90)
	forward(size)
	left(90)
	side(size, zsize)
	left(90)
	forward(size)
	right(90)
	color(boxColor)
	square(size)
	up()
	right(45)
	forward(zsize)
	left(45)
	down()
	square(size)
	up()

DrawCube(150, 100, "black", "blue")

Define window. The code you've shown merely dumps text to a screen. If it's a terminal window, define more rows. You're limited by your environment, not the language.

Design it in a word processor, dump it to a PDF. Make an image and display the image. If you want to interact with the user, then it becomes more interesting.

Personally, I'd use HTML. It's ubiquitous, understood by most users, easy to enter data into and print from.
