simple games w/o pygame

[William Gill]

I am teaching an 11 year old who wants to learn programming. I chose
Python, and it is working well. I seem to remember lots of simple
script games, like quizzes, number games etc. that would be good for his
tutorial. However, now all I can find is more complex games using
Pygame. Can anyone help me out here?

Maybe you can check out the book "Python Programming for the Absolute
Beginner, 3rd Edition" by Michael Dawson. Its emphasis is on simple
games. My son is (who is older - just turned 17) is working through it
now and finding it easy going.

Thanks everyone. These references will help greatly. I was about to
take some javascript examples and rewrite them in Python.
