This is a great learn-to-code app. I have an MS in computer science, and I use this with my elementary school students. It introduces important programming structures such as methods, loops, return statements, and debugging. It is simple enough for beginners with only three major commands: move, turn, light (on/off). My first graders can solve were the first levels, but they would need instruction before they could handle levels which need recursion or loops. The puzzles are fun.

Ok, I am 10 years old, can you make one for older kids? It was lots of fun, it was easy for me though. My 4 year old brother could solve some of them.👍it was fun, mind you, but also add some more levels please! If you come out with more, I will download!! Great free app if you're interested in programing!😁🎮 Have a good day (or good afternoon) random strangers I don't know!😘 ❤️

I'm not within the intended age range, just wanted to check out the coding basics. This is a really fun way for kids to both learn and play. I noticed you could complete the levels may different ways, so maybe once the level is finished it could show the optimal way to complete each level.
