One thing I loved about the default BASIC on the computers of the 70s and 80s was the ease of doing graphics and easily seeing something tangible on the screen.<p>What is the equivalent of that today? For instance, is there an easy-to-use Python library that lets kids do simple drawing with ease?<p>Ie, on the TRS-80&#x27;s Level II BASIC, just doing SET(X,Y) coloured a white pixel at that coordinate, and RESET(X,Y) turned it black. And you could see immediately the utility of applying FOR loops to make horizontal and vertical lines, etc.<p>I don&#x27;t remember QBASIC, but the customized BASIC on my Tandy 1000 In the late 80&#x27;s had graphics modes with I think PSET(X,Y,C) to light pixel with color C, and even had some built-in commands for making line, rectangles, circles, and ellipses.<p>So it was very easy to type a few lines and get something cool on the screen, but still required a bit of thought on x,y coordinages and some programming constructs to do anything complex.<p>I only dabble a bit in Python, but what&#x27;s the best way to do something like that today?<p>I think there&#x27;s much more of a feeling of &quot;Wow, look what I made!&quot; after drawing something this way than just using the painting mode for sprites in Scratch.
