Robot School. Programming For Kids User Reviews

Help provides complete program

When typing "help", the whole program gets written. This is too tempting compared to figuring out the solution.

Excellent but found a bug

I couldn't get passed 11 until I changed a condition true to false while the code was running. This makes no sense. You shouldn't be able or need to modify the code at runtime.

2 minute appraisal -- fail

All I'll say so far is "drag commands to the programming window" ... is where/how?

Tutorial would get me past this 2 minute fail.

Needs intro. Level 8 appears buggy

Can't figure out any code to make it work. Move statements are limited within loops and other times, unable to drag statements to the coding window. The statement just vanishes.

Otherwise, it has excellent potential.

Just began using

Looks good thus far. I suspect it will be attractive and useful to younger children as well, perhaps as young as 5. While intuitive, a intro would save some trial and error attempts.
