I coded that kind of stuff when I was like 12, in BASIC, with no idea about integration as far as I can remember now. I think I'd read about simulating a bouncing ball in a basic programming book somewhere? This did help with getting the ideas about calculus later.

Added: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/hc_pers_comp_for_children.pdf has a more detailed scenario of kids coding Euler integration without knowing it's called that.
