Lightbot is a programming puzzle game: a puzzle game that uses game mechanics that are firmly rooted in programming concepts.
Lightbot lets players gain a practical understanding of basic control-flow concepts like procedures, loops, and conditionals, just by guiding a robot with commands to light up tiles and solve levels. Ideal for ages 8+
