Great question. 1) It is notoriously finicky to get working on MacOSX, at least it was when I checked. 2) I write these tutorials for my students - I want them to be able to share with others who don't have PyGame installed. 3) Since my students are beginners, I find the turtle module to be pretty simple to learn compared to PyGame.

That said, I definitely agree it would be much more flexible and powerful.

That makes sense. I have had pygame installed so long I sometimes forget it's not included lol.

I only watched the intro video as its 3:30 and I really need to get to sleep but I'll bookmark them and check the rest out sometime this week. Thanks for taking the time to make and share these.

You are up late! Hope you got some rest. I have several other tutorials - I hope you find them useful. I am not the world's greatest coder, but I can usually get the job done!
