Kirbyish thought - For those students moving in the direction of Ogre and Panda3D (in my view not necessarily a significant portion of those who might find something like VPython fun and interesting, at any rate): present VPython as a level to be beaten, with a definition of "beating the level". The fact that there is no way to get to the Level 2 without beating Level 1 would be second nature to them. Beat VPython *and then* we install Panda3D. Should take them a few months of real work. Minimum. Art _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
