There's the tutorials...
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.
