Hi, I am going to be teaching an advance group of 6-8 graders this
summer on some aspects of computer science (they scored the highest in
the state on their SAT's. 6-8 graders!! sheesh). I wanted to let them
have a little competition so I thought using some corewars-like game
would be fun. The only thing I have been able to find so far is a
curses implementation of corewars. Is there anyone out there who knows
of an X11 implementation of corewars? It would be a big help, any
pointers at all. If not, I'm going to take a crack out it myself with
the existing code I have. Any help or pointers in that regard would be
welcome too.  Finally, if you have any better ideas on a good "game"
that would have some programming aspects to it that is visual for
kids, please make me a suggestion, I'm all ears!  Please reply by
email, I'll summarize if there is any interest. Thanks much.
