Haha, this brings back some memories... Way back in high school I had this computer teacher that was teaching us basic programming. My friend and I already knew more than he did so it was mostly a boring class. We did manage find ways to keep interesting, though.

He used to give us extra credit for writing basic programs that drew stuff on the screen. So we wrote this thing that looked at each pixel on the screen and generated output which we then saved as a basic program. The program reproduced what had been on the screen with nothing but pset statements. (This was back in the monochrome days, no color to worry about). So for extra credit we submitted our "program" that drew a picture of a house that we snagged. Total time, about 45 minutes. Total pages of printed output, 38 or 39.... He bought it too, surprisingly enough.
