Light Bot Game Teaches Programming On The Sly

Light Bot Flash Game

This neat little flash game called Light Bot does a pretty good job of teaching basic programming without making it seem like you’re learning anything. Give it a try. If you like this game but are a little bit intimidated by DIY or hobby robotics, relax, it’s practically the same thing. In some cases, it’s exactly the same thing… Just queue up a sequence of movements (or functions, which are just a bunch of movements in a row stuffed together) in a graphical environment and click go. Yep, that’s really all there is to it, on a basic level, so get yourself a real robot and give it a try.
