If you are new to Ada, I am going to suggest the great little
set of libraries called JEWL created by John English.  My
beginning Ada students have been able to create games,
graphical output of computations,  small text editors, and
a whole range of interesting beginning level programs
using it.   You can download the most recent version
of it from

              http://www.adapower.com.

Caution.  JEWL is intended for beginners.   There is a lot
of stuff that is not included.   However, for someone who
just wants to have some fun with Ada early in their learning,
it is as easy to use as Ada.Text_IO and loads more fun.
