🤖 Move the robot

Build a program out of blocks, press Go, and watch the robot follow it to the star. There is nothing to type. Later levels have a repeat block, so a long walk can be a short program.

Waking the robot…

A program is a list of steps the computer follows exactly, in order. That is all coding is, and this game is a first taste of it. The robot only knows three things (go forward, turn left, turn right) plus, from level 12, how to repeat. If it bumps a rock, nothing breaks: look at your blocks, find the step that went wrong, and try again. That is called debugging, and real programmers do it all day.

For ages 6 and up. Everything works by tapping. Your finished levels are remembered on this device only, and nothing you do here is sent anywhere. Want to try coding with no screen? There are unplugged coding ideas for families and classrooms, and teachers can print the unplugged coding task cards.
