Under rating threshold (show) hey, I liked this game a lot, but could you add some way for the player to tell how the points work? I know they count down, but I have no idea how I am scored. for example, should I be aiming for fewer calls or fewer commands? what's the most points that I could get on each level? and so on.

Under rating threshold (show) Every time I have to turn, I wind up spinning my hand in the air to figure out which is which, and I'm on the colored levels! You should really change those to L and R, or, at the very least, put the "turn left" button on the LEFT and the "turn right" button on the RIGHT!

Under rating threshold (show) Cool game, but the GUI needs some work (like being able to insert commands in between other commands without having to manually drag them all.) 5/5 because it's still a lot of fun.

Under rating threshold (show) A nice challenge. The programmer in me rages a little at the last two levels because they require lots of extra calls to be made since our helper functions have a limited number of allotted commands. Definitely hard to wrap my brain around, but I liked it!

Under rating threshold (show) What's good about programming is that programs made by different people never look the same. What's bad about programming is that it can be difficult to understand programs written by other people. This puzzle mostly forces you to guess the developer's solution, instead of finding your own :/ This is not necessarilly a bad thing, but with the addition of conditionals (especially since you don't have a "not" condition) it makes the game much less intuitive than the previous one. I definitely can't understand some of the expert levels.

Under rating threshold (show) If you do another game, I'd like to see "gray-only" conditionals. It would give players a lot more power over what their lightbot can do.

Under rating threshold (show) Honestly the last two levels you have to brute force it so much that the solutions stop really making logical sense and only work through excessive ugly loops

Under rating threshold (show) Just so you know, if you click where it says "Main Method, Function 1, or Function 2," you don't have to drag each one, you just click them, and they pop up there. I didn't figure this out until the 3rd to last level... ):<

Under rating threshold (show) @BahaaDhrymm Colour conditionals work based on the colour of the bot, not the colour of the tile the bot is on, hence why you need to use the light on the first conditional level. The stop function works using this logic "if bot colour is {chosencolour} then break" and I have never seen it work incorrectly.

Under rating threshold (show) Two things. One- Really fun game. It gets pretty difficult but if you sit down and toy with it the levels start to get easier. I like light bot one better though, I cannot exactly put my finger on why. 4/5 for the game great job! Two- Sorry for earlier post didn't read the description.

Under rating threshold (show) A good game but i dislike the restriction of the levels, surely the point to programing is there is more than one solution to a given problem?

Under rating threshold (show) All programmers are lazy as we know, we like to do things the easiest way. While I won't state the flaws of some of the retarded patterns for functions to do it the most 'optimal' (highest scoring) way, I will ask: where is the copy-the-nearest-tile-I-click-on key as part of the controls so that I can place tiles with as little effort as possible?!

Under rating threshold (show) A speed up button and a pause button could be nice though, speedup for testing if a pathway is working and pause so you can easily see where the pathway is going wrong. Sometimes it is hard to tell with all the looping.

Under rating threshold (show) Really fun game, I love the logic of it. Though I did have to use the walkthrough to understand how to use the color scheme it didn't make sense at first. Sometimes it is confusing having to use a roundabout route to get to the final destination, but for the most part a great game! 5/5

Under rating threshold (show) For the longest time, I thought conditionals were activated by STEPPING on a colored tile and couldn't figure out why it wasn't registering. You should have seen my jaw drop when I realized I had to lightbulb.

Under rating threshold (show) So far the conditional levels aren't near as hard as the ones before it. And I don't think it's to hard to comprehend the score goes down instead of up. So don't get why people are whining about that. I <3 puzzle games that make me think. Obviously giving this 5/5 since it seems unique to me.

Under rating threshold (show) I think I'm kind of figured out the scoring system. If you don't play a level, the commands and calls are all 999. So you have 47952 score at the begining. If you play a level, you replace 999 with your commands and calls number, so if you play a level, you should at least have -9xx score. Therefore, getting calls less is more important. (You can play twice, once for calls and once for command, so your score will have both minimum)

Under rating threshold (show) The last two levels were a really great challenge, and I especially applaud the second-to-last level for also being elegant (and for being a depth-first traversal of a tree, totally in theme, though knowing that didn't help me solve it). The curve is a bit steep at the end though; I can't imagine anyone who could solve the last two levels without help would find any of the other levels at all difficult.

Under rating threshold (show) Great game. But sadly it seems to be very CPU intensive and controls are very laggy. CPU usage is about 20% when mouse pointer is outside game widnow and about 40% when inside (idle). And moving the mouse inside the game causes CPU usage to instantly strike to 100%! Also that causes even several seconds lag in registering clicks + pointer movement.
