Light Bot

Light Bot is a Flash game that works much like Lego Mindstorms, where you have to arrange a set of basic command “blocks” in order to control a robot (getting it to light up all of the blue tiles).   The challenge comes as the robot must navigate increasingly complex spaces using only a limited number of programming steps.   As with Mindstorms, it’s a neat way to introduce kids to some basic computer programming concepts.  I particularly like the ability to create “functions” - a set of commands that is bundled into a single block and that can be re-used again and again.
