Have you tried Code Combat? [1] Or, Vim Adventures? [2] Of course, you might skip the vim because real programmers use emacs.

We all know real programmers use butterflies. I've been letting my son focus on the code rather than the editor, so he's using Eclipse per the aforementioned book's recommendation.
