This is a small educational game, used to grasp the most fundamental part of programming. The concept is simple: make a program that allows a small robot to complete a small track.

How to add your own track
When you have completed the game, feel free to make you own tracks and post them to me. To create a track you need to write it in a specific format looking like this:
| XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX |
| XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | XX |
| XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | XX |
| XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | XX |
| XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | FE | -- | XX |
| XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | XX |
| XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | XX |
| XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | XX |
| XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | XX |
| XX | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | XX |
| XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX |
It consists of squares where each square is composed of two characters. Play the game to get acquainted with the different types of squares and their purpose in the game.
The allowed types are:
| -- | An empty space (two minus signs) |
| XX | A wall (two X's) |
| <> | A hole (less and greather than signs) |
| BB | A box (two B's) |
| F1, F2, F3, F4, FE | Flags (all tracks must have a FE flag) |
| A0, A1, A2, A3, A4 | Stepping stone with color marks |
| A5, A6, A7, A8, A9 | Stepping stone without color marks |
| D0, D1, D2, D3, D4 | Doors with color marks, matches A0-A4 |
| D5, D6, D7, D8, D9 | Doors without color marks, matches A5-A9 |
You also need to provide a title and a description in text.
Finally you need to define the starting position and direction of the robot, measured in column, row, where 0,0 is upper left corner. (In the above example the end flag is at 12,4). Directions are N for up, S for down, E for right and W for left.
When you post me your track you'll need to add a valid program solution for it - otherwise I might not even look at it.
