I built tphysics as a simple way to get into writing games using python with turtle for rendering. It is a great jumping off point that is suitable for classrooms as you don't need to install any external libraries to use tphysics.
You can install python3 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/
You can find Visual Studio Code here: https://code.visualstudio.com/
And you can get tphysics on my github: https://github.com/thebillington/tphysics
