This short teaser is meant to introduce players to programming who may have little to no experience. Anyone, anywhere, from grades K-12 can play, have fun and learn real programming logic!
Simply guiding a robot to light up tiles and solve levels using commands, Lightbot cultivates a real understanding of procedures, loops, and conditionals.

Ratings and Reviews
Procedures 😖
Okay this game is fun and good for kids 😊 but on procedures (level 4) I cannot get past it because there isn’t enough space to complete it and finish it😥 which annoys me 😡 because the game was really fun 🥳but now I considered deleting the app until it is fixed, if you get it fixed let me know because I would like to complete the game 👍. 😐 P.S sorry if I sound like a Karen it’s just the bug annoys me and sorry if I annoyed you 😅
STRANGE
Something Strange is happening on procedures level 5 Everyone else’s looks different to mine but the rest of it is fine I am completely shocked by it
I like everything else maybe your Procedures Level 5 looks like mine I do not have a clue I like some of it but there are some clear errors
Very brief, once and done.
Was enjoying it, for a brief moment, then it was over.
I think an hour is a generous estimate, but less pressure is good for young and old alike when it comes to learning.
It’s a great way to get concepts across - though, it could probably benefit, from some descriptions, of use cases (to use out in the wild) for the concepts shared in the few levels offered here.
Simple, clearly laid out UI and well explained UX pathway.
A good example of a (though I feel it ought to be offered for free) teaser for a larger concept but not sure if it really qualifies as a stand alone offering.
A game made in this way, combining puzzles with conceptual learning is a fantastic way to go, when approached in this way.
I for one am looking forward to future offerings in this path into an ever evolving industry.
