This is an excellent introduction -- thanks for posting it :) I teach high school students programming as part of a summer camp and this is a perfect resource for students who are already further along and want another challenge. The introduction to assembly will help them in their later careers and 6502 assembly is likely less of a shock than any recent ASM.

With the 32x32 display they could even do some simple graphics to stretch themselves :)

Besides simple graphics, the original Prince of Persia was developed in 6502 assembly - the source has even been released recently: http://jordanmechner.com/blog/2012/03/prince-of-persia-sourc...
