I cried as my head exploded when I saw the solution for the last level... This game has potential to put you off programing... still 5/5 :D

@moxoxo the conditional requires you to turn on the light (so the robot can check what colour the tile is, we assume) - once you do that, it works just fine

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.

for people getting confused with the direction buttons remember the turn left is the one on the right and turn right is the one on the left... obviously :P

"I'll give you a 30 point badge if you beat this game... oh and there's a walkthrough button... so here, just have the badge"

For everyone who are having a problem with the hard badge: You are supposed to get 3,000 or LOWER, not 3,000 or higher.

A very challenging and confusing game, but still fun. The game teaches you that controlling a robot is very complex :D 5/5.

Wow, I really started studying basic C programming at faculty, and after playing this game, I´m like "Awesome!". It´s got everything to do with programing, loved it, totally! 5/5

Hope you guys realize that no one in these comments will have orange, seeing as they probably just completed the blue portal achievement...

For those having trouble with conditionals, your bot can light up color panels to change colors thus activating the conditionals. Just standing on them won't do anything.

to all idiots saying hey I got more then what's needed for the badge, the game counts downwards! You start with all points (did all levels with 99/999 commands) and you are to improve that and get a score below 3000 which is better.

Just wanted to let you know that somebody is copying your game to the tee.
http://www.programyourrobot.com/ just thought I'd let you know

Complex and challenging, but it has a great design. Although I agree with alexnobody, it's still really fun to work out the steps of the level. (:

I found this to be a really neat game. I enjoyed giving the robot commands and it was very satisfying when I got a solution correct. I must admit I got stuck on level two of Recursion. Thank you for making this game and I look forward to seeing more of your games.

How does the score count down, i.e. what is it counting exactly? It would be nice to know so that I can determine how best to maximise (or minimise) my score.

@Francarf @Shicoco... So basically, the only reason you're rating down this game is because you can't go through it without a walkthrough? Sorry, but you guys are just sad...

The UI is frustrating and there needs to be a way to save so I can come back to it later. Other useful things would include a smidge more debugger capability: pause and step (instead of just "run" and "break") would help a *lot*.

these games aim at finding the solution that involves the minimal amount of programmer input, regardless of how many actions are wasted. If it accurately models the approach by programmers then this explains why so many programs and operating systems are riddled with memory leaks, and take so god awfully long to get anything done.

Have only had time now to play through the basics. Must say, compared to LightBot1, I like the UI where you can click a function and then a command to be written into it.

Having worked as a computer programmer for the last 15 years or so I should really hate this, but it is strangley fun and not a little satisfying to see that little guy pooter around. If only writing real computer programmes was this easy, or fun ! I agree with "internet handle" if there is a score one really needs to know how it works so one can try to maximise it, or else why have a score at all?

I liked the game, but like vlasec said, I don't like that I'm forced to write such fugly code. Also, those are not functions, they are subroutines.
