Dear list,

introducing pupils to Programming by means of Gambas is a nice matter. 
It is easy to make  characters move - time controlled! 

As for coordinates, expecially younger kids have problems. This is the reason, 
why LOGO is used in primary school - and above - and even Java tutorials 
introduced turtle-graph elements to conquer this obstacle. 

It shouldn't be to hard to create a Turtle module for Gambas - but maybe it is 
already there?

For those who have not one clue what this is about: Basic draw instructions 
would be:

[move] forward X
[turn] right | left X 

So you'll draw a square by saying:
  forward 100
  left 90
  forward 100
  left 90
  forward 100
  left 90
  forward 100
  
Regards
Ralf
