About Sketchbots

This seems rather easy, doesn't it? You just move up a few tiles, turn right, shoot, turn left, move up a bit more and you're done. Well yes, the solution is fairly obvious from where we're standing, but put yourself in the body of that little robot and try to see the world from his perspective. Each turn is a new set of parameters for him to process and his view of the world is very limited. You might see the target behind that wall over there, but all he sees is the wall.

Fortunately, now you can use your superior knowledge to help the little guy find his way. Create a complex decision tree which will help him overcome any obstacle in his way.With an ever growing number of levels, your programming skills will be put to the test in more and more complicated ways.

If you fail at first, there's a detailed overview of what decisions he's made and you can easily pinpoint where it all went wrong. After all, what is programming other than iterating through solutions, getting closer and closer with each step, until that wonderful moment at the end when you clench your fist with pride after a successful run and take your well earned walk around the room to show everyone just how clever you really are. This is how Sketchbots will help you feel with each completed level, all while enjoying its beautiful, school-notebook-inspired, art design.

Very good game for those who want to learn programming! Updates are much, much better. More tidy interface and clean area! Hope the dual comes out soon!

It's a great concept for a game and it's executed on very well here; I really want to like this game, I really do. However, there are just a couple of complaints that I want addressed. 1. There's no way to detect the orientation of other bots. 2. There's no way to store learned information, the bot can't create a mental map of the environment or do anything else that would require knowing more then what we just did 1 turn ago.

I really enjoy this game! I like the challenge of only being able to recall the last action instead of storing all previous actions to memory, it makes me feel like the bots are very primitive, in a good kind of way. The potential here is really huge, I could see hundreds of puzzles to play from the community one day being a thing. Speed running, do it in X challenges etc. This game deserves more love and attention!

Very cool game, you really need to think a pit, and that makes this fun :-)
