brilliant game, been while since we have had one where you need to think about what you are doing and not just go clickty click click.

In fact I found level 11 to be way harder than level 10. That one I did right away.
I would like more levels and the chance to skip those levels already passed.

if you made a minor mistake u had to start over. You should make it so if u r on easy difulcty it would highlight the blocks you did wrong

i don't understand how it could be considered like teaching imperative programming. it has nothing to see with pointers, memory allocation. plus, now the code size is no more a big deal- but in a few cases

As others have said, great game, very engaging, but the lack of level select is frustrating...I don't want to have to start from the beginning if I log off of kongregate...

nice game - as a cs major I was embarrassed at how hard some of the levels were :) - I hope we see more programming/ai games in the future!

All that said, I think this game (with perhaps a little more functionality) could be marketed to middle-schoolers as an excellent introduction to functional programming. You have a great piece of edutainment on your hands. :)

Great game, very nice implementation. I agree with a couple of the comments though - needs level-select (allowing people to fine-tune and reduce the total number of commands -would make for a cool badge), would be nice to see a step-through highlight on the code, and a faster interface than click-drag (perhaps keyboard or just clicking) would be nice, though not needed. Well done. 4/5 for now, 5/5 with more replay value.

this is quite possibly the best game i have played on kongregate, and that is a lot of games! i love the robo-rally feel, but replacing chance with intricacy to perform incredibly clever solo puzzles. i'm very impressed!

I really like the game and concept. It is really annoying though that if I can't complete all the levels at once I have to start over from the beginning.

fun. needs what everyone else is saying. Maybe in a sequel. Level 10 was, unfortunately, harder than 11 or 12 (it should have been the last level). 4/5

Decent instructional game. This should be fleshed out for children. Add an RP element to earn more function slots, and new moves. Good beginning.

Great game, only suggestion, it would be a nice addition to have the program light up in sync with what the robot is doing, sort of like 'step through' in a real programming environment.

This game is fantastic 4/5. For me to give it a 5/5, it would need a save/level select option. Another neat addition to the game would be if the code lit up as it was being executed. This would differ from real programing where incorrect output occurs and you have no idea where, but I think it would be satisfying to see how efficient your functions are when the robot performs many actions with just the one line of code.

4/5 I like the game, but it gets boring. Also, I played a game almost identical to this years ago. But still, it is a great game.

Nice variation on these games. really really needs a save function. Keyboard controls rather than click-drag would also speed up the game.
