Grant Robinson’s thoughts and findings on design, games and digitalia
I’ve often thought that games are good at teaching you how to code, because they force you to identify and order game rules and rule patterns in your brain. But this fun little puzzle game called Light-bot literally gets you thinking like a programmer by requiring you to string together movements into reusable functions to complete each level. Oh and I’m stuck on the level above, can a real programmer please help me!
UPDATE: I managed to get past this level eventually, of course I was looking at it all wrong. Out of interest, this was level 10 of 12, so it’s a fairly short game and well worth putting aside half an hour or so to have a play with. I managed to get through the whole game by only using 185 moves – if you can beat that you’re bloody legend!
