My son&#x27;s been doing Robot Turtles for awhile now and mostly gets it. The next step is to get him to do multiple cards at once rather than one card at a time.<p>I&#x27;ve heard about Scratch many times, but have never looked into it in detail. Anyone have experience with it for their kids?<p>My dad taught me GW-BASIC when I was young. One thing that&#x27;s different now: when I wrote a GW-BASIC program that just printed text, or maybe outputted some CP437 characters, or drew some lines in 4 color mode, it didn&#x27;t look all that different to &quot;real&quot; programs we ran on an IBM XT. But if my son gets older and I teach him Python or whatever, sure we can write a console app that does something, but it&#x27;s not going to look anything like most of what he sees a computer doing.<p>(Though that said, he does like watching me play Brogue, so if we had an @ that moved around the screen getting in fights with r&#x27;s and j&#x27;s and B&#x27;s, then that would be familiar to him after all.)
