Looks a bit like BASIC and python were walking down the road, triped over and fell inside a blender... Not bad, but having learnt to program in BASIC in my childhood, and having moved on to python over the years (plus a few in betweeners), I have mixed feelings.

BASIC was easy (and I see that in the drawing commands included in this course), but it limited you in ways you didn't know (. A lot of that "easiness" can come from something as simple as:

    from easy_operations import *
...(going full python here, I know) and then you work out introducing how those operations are performed on more advanced courses.

Still, a good experiment on teaching how to program.
