Looking for some feedback. What’s a problem that you and/or others have that you desperately want solved? What’s an app that you wish you had? If you had a software developer that could make you whatever you wanted, what would you have them make?
I want a web site running a Basic interpreter that includes a screen I can do simple graphics on, so I can e.g. write Pong. (I want to teach my 10 yo son to program, and I remember how easy it was to start programming when all computers did this.)

This might be what you want - definitely works for python and they apparently have a Basic interpreter but not sure if it supports graphicshttps://twitter.com/replit/status/1108786048606195712?s=19 …

I've been begging Amjad to add Basic for at least a year, maybe longer.

ComputerCraft brings Logo to Minecraft using lua. It's the modern day equivalent I think. You get a low res screen to work with and the code controls your bots in the game! http://www.computercraft.info/wiki/Main_Page

Would something like this work for you? http://witheve.com/ I noticed it recently and want to give it a go teaching my little sister how to program. It's not Basic though.

"import turtle" in IDLE, which comes with Python, is a good starting point for this kind of instruction. Probably won't let you write pong but at least move graphics around with simple instructions.
