Ya I can see that, I'm imagining a way a kid could make his OWN logo implementation, though.
Logo is cool because you see the things you tell the little cursor to draw being drawn-- how could a kid implement something like his son's program, though, where a user is prompted to type their name and hit enter-- then a smiley face is drawn if their name is noah and a sadface is drawn if their name is anything else?
I agree- we should also have just as easy of a way to start off with drawing.
Why do we need to install 50 frameworks, tell a window how to spawn, basically create a universe just to start experimenting with creating computer graphics? It's a (Width x Height) matrix of RGB values-- why can't we get a simple way to create a simple 100x100 box for kids to draw in?
No reason your son couldn't tell a screen to print colored pixels in RGB value with the right syntax.
