Light-Bot Game

Light-Bot is an online game that covers some fundamental programming concepts. We will focus on procedures using Light-Bot for this assignment. Here is an example of a possible task in Light-Bot:

• You must produce a list of commands to direct a robot around a board.
  You drag and drop the commands into cells, then click "Go!" to make the robot perform the commands.
  Your goal is to make him light up all the blue tiles.
  Your score is determined by how many commands you have in the cells. You want to use the fewest possible commands to get the lowest score.

Go to this Web site: light-bot.com.

• Click the Arrow in the green rectangle to get started.
• You will see Procedures, Click on the P1 and you will see six levels to complete. Do all six levels in order.
• Your goal is to use the fewest possible commands to make your robot light up all of the tiles.
• When you complete level 6 take a screenshot of your program to submit. Prof. Rodger dragged over 15 command tiles in her program and used both of the procedures P1 and P2. How did you do?

Submission:

You should create a document using Word/Google Doc, or any program that allows you to copy/paste or include your screenshot of the last level you completed (an image file) and that also includes the contents of the README information (see below). Note, you just type into your document, but you type the contents of what will be in a separate README.txt file in later submissions. For this first assignment, just type the collaboration, thoughts/impressions, etc.

It would be best to submit a .pdf file, but we will accept a .doc or .docx file for this first assignment. Include the screen shot and information about who you talked with.

Instructions on creating a screen shot will be posted soon.

See the information you should put in a README.txt file here.

See the late policy for programming assignments here.

You will submit this assignment using Sakai.
