What do you guys think about including a very simple game with the standard library?
My very first lines of code were modifications to a QBasic game called "nibbles" which came with QBasic. A memory dear to my heart and CV. The world has changed and nowadays it's much easier to download whatever, though I think this would still be useful for our younger downloaders: * As a reason to poke and tinker around c:\python33\Lib\ or /usr/lib/python3.3/ * To give a simple, sample Tk app. * "import turtle" is nice but at 4K lines, we can do simpler. Also, as a game it's mainly interesting for a very young demographic I believe. * A simple, fun, readable, moddable, Tk game is possible at 200-400 lines or about 10KB of uncompressed code. * As another neat "Python is fun" example, à la "import antigravity" Yuval Greenfield
