Since you know Pygame, why can't you just tech them?

I can't pretend to speak for Clare... but I think the idea is to give
the students a sense of accomplishment within a short time frame.
Writing a game from scratch can be a daunting proposition - something
near impossible to have a bunch of budding programmers do in a short
time. However, having students start with a game skeleton, and
letting them use their creativity to "fill in the blank" could result
in something both doable in a reasonable time and fun to do.
As a teacher at heart, I fully support Clare's idea and wish I could help in a timely fashion.
