[San-Diego-pm] 2D graphics scripting

[Dirk]

My 11 year-old nephew draws successions of war games with pencil and
paper.  I explained to him about playing out these scenarios by rotating
and translating desktop-like icons on a computer screen.  He's very
interested in the idea.

        I've been looking on CPAN.org and sourceforge.net for such a 2D
system using perl.  I'd have to learn the rudiments of it myself to pass
it to him.  Where should I start?

Thanks,
Dirk
