Robbie the Robot is a puzzle game intended to teach simple programming skills. The goal is to move a robot through a series of rooms; in the player must write a short script to move the robot from the starting point to a finish point. There are puzzles to solve along the way: the robot must trigger switches in a particular order, or maneuver around obstacles, or manipulate other robots into triggering switches, etc.

See the web page, above, for the latest news.

JM which is the file to download?

WHD At present you need to download the source, and run it with ActiveTcl. I've added information on where to download the source to the web page given above. Eventually, I intend to have downloadable executables for OSX, Linux, and Windows.

JM This is great!

My 14 year old son like it. This is very creative and I enjoy seen Tcl in action. I have some feedback for you to consider:

  • - In the tutorial, clear the editor from the previous exercise
  • - Have a keyboard shortcut for the "Run" button, F5 ?

Congratulations!
