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:
1) In the tutorial, clear the editor from the previous exercise
2) Have a keyboard shortcut for the "Run" button, F5 ?
Congratulations!
