I'm a Linux and OSX user however, so I think having LittleCoder run on
top of SDL [1] would make it even cooler.

[1] http://www.libsdl.org/

There are already a couple of Ruby-SDL bindings available. How hard
would it be to port LittleCoder? I'd like to check that, but I'm not
sure when I'll be able to look deeper into this, though.

Nevertheless, great idea, Harold!

There's always the cross-platform open source UCBLogo, which provides
an excellent advancement path from simple and easy (think "Turtle
Graphics") all the way up to m-expression based Lisp dialect with
macros. It's not strictly on-topic for a Ruby list, but still a very
good idea, in my opinion.
