About Virtual Robots - Robot programming simulator
Ironically, this game does not have a code editor. The best code editor you can get for Virtual Robots is probably Notepad++. If you decide to use Notepad++ you can find syntax highlighter in "scripts/notepad++pyrois".
After you write code, you can assign it to your robots and watch them do, what you told them to do. If there are any compilation errors in your code, game will tell you by pointing at the line, where the first compilation error occurred.
Robots can carry boxes, use guns and swords, navigate through a maze and open doors with sensors.
Robots use Pyrois scripting language for their code. Pyrois is an interpreted language with syntax similar to C++ and Java.
Game features 11 tutorial levels that can help you understand how robots work. Tutorial 0 should also teach you how to use Pyrois scripting language.
This game was first intended to be used in schools and collages where students show interest in robot programming but don't have access to real robots or don't have sufficient amount of them. Easier levels are simple "go to" levels. Harder levels require robots to observe the environment for objects and other robots. There are 18 levels that require you to write code for your robots. Game has also few custom levels that were used for development and can now be used to test different scripts.
About game interface languages: Game interface language can be set to English, German or Slovak but comments in script examples are always written in English.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate the core concept of a robot programming game but are frustrated by poor execution across multiple fronts. The main complaints center on inadequate documentation for the scripting language, a confusing tutorial that doesn't effectively teach, frequent crashes, and missing quality-of-life features like settings persistence. Many feel the game requires prior programming knowledge to be playable and wish the scripting language were more accessible (like Python instead of the current Java-like syntax), making it feel more like an unpolished student project than a finished product
Nice concept for a game, but without any serious documentation for the scripting language and the commands the robots understand, it is quite useless19 found this helpful
Looking forward to c++ class next semester, was hoping this would be a good addition, I'll keep trying. However it's not C++ but a simular script pyros, The examples are kinda complicated.. tutorial seems composed of "ready this preprogrammed script" watch robot do it's thing. Not very interactive, or teaching. Love the idea of robots, and code. TLDR: I wouldn't buy this unless already have a good understanding of what's going on, and willingness to dive right in, figure it all out on your own.10 found this helpful
No, not even if you're an experienced programmer. This game is no good for learning how to code since the code is difficult to figure out due to its similarity to java. It is not fun for people who know java because the game itself is a buggy mess and crashes randomly. The game doesn't save settings so every time you enter/exit a level the music starts playing again at default volume. Overall, this feels like you're getting a demo of a student project instead of an actual game.6 found this helpful
I bought it for the lols, but it didn't work.4 found this helpful
it doesn't teach me well how i play3 found this helpful
I love the concept but the programming language that is inside is one of the worst existing on this planet and the game crashes. It would have been my favorite game and I would have played so many hours if the programming language was Python. Python is better for this game in my opinion due to the fact that it's easy to use and straight forward.2 found this helpful
