I don't know of anyone that has done that. It's not hard to do, but I
think using something higher level built on Chickadee would be more
appropriate for teaching children. Chickadee is high-level in a sense
because it abstracts away complicated OpenGL things and provides
useful utilities, but low-level in another sense that it leaves it up
to the user to assemble all the pieces. "Batteries not included", if
you will. I'm working on a project called Starling, which is a small
object-oriented game engine that has the batteries included. I'll
share more when I'm ready for a 0.1 release.
