If you've been looking at Fishing Cactus's blog lately, you may have noticed a couple of posts on "Algo-Bot". It's an educational game which helps you to learn programming. It gives you a little robot guy that you have to program to move around levels, move items, etc. It's nice to see this kind of educational software making learning programming easier.  Does anyone know of any other games like this? My TCR Norns |

I was intrigued when I saw the first few updates about the game. I was also a little disappointed that the updates weren't about Creatures 4... But that's beside the point! I haven't heard of any other games like this, though I really like the unique and educational spin that it takes. No more boring programming! (And to get slightly off topic... The goggles on top of Tina's head seem eerily similar to those worn by the Master Shee!) |

I hope there'll be hazards to avoid in later levels. ![[devil]](/images/smilies/devil.gif "[devil]") Maybe a silly human wandering loose in the factory...My TCR Norns |

Malkin wrote: It is not directly a game, but ever heard about the python library turtle? Turtle (and the more efficiently written xturtle) is a library which gives you a canvas. It'll pop up when you use the first turtle-command. In the middle of the canvas you see an arrow or, well, a turtle. This turtle can be moved around with commands such as forward, backward, turnleft, turnright and so on. While it walks, it leaves a line. The attributes of the lines can be changed too, such as how broad it is or which color it has. Using for and while loops, you can create geometric patterns and mandalas. With if-statements, button-requests (from one of the python default libraries) and a jump-to-position command you can also create some kinda mini paint program, like "click left to spawn a circle, click right for a star and press C to clear the screen". Overall it is an easy-to-use library which introduces the syntax of Python while staying simple and with lotsa visible results. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

@Papriko: I remember using a floor turtle, or a "roamer" as they were called, during some of my primary school years. It sounds similar to the one that you described. |

There's a new article available to read about the process that the team's gone through to create Algo-Bot, there are some interesting tidbits in there! My TCR Norns |
