User reviews

Does not work very well

the keyboard is broken etc

terrible - do not download

IT doesnt works!

This is a great app

It is a wonderful learning app and you should really check it out. It will help you with the basics of algorithms without being tied down with all of the math stuff. It will also help you to understand the concepts of programming in an easy way.

Say what?

Wasting money - no useful explenations or how to. So my kids could not learn anything.

Super Einstieg

Mein knapp 9 Jahre alter Sohn will programmieren lernen - Spiele natürlich. Deshalb haben wir nach Programmiersprachen für Kinder gesucht. Meine C64 Assembler-Zeiten sind lange lange her.

Karel ist toll. Die manuelle Steuerung ermöglicht es direkt mit dem Robi zu spielen und bietet einen super Anlass, das dann in ein Programm umzusetzen.

Befehle in Englisch waren kein Problem für meinen Sohn. Befehlsumfang ist übersichtlich, aber dadurch auch nicht überfordernd:
Wenn-Dann; Solange-Bis; Definierte Anzahl an Wiederholungen und sogar Unterprozeduren.
Leider keine Variablenverarbeitung. Deshalb nur 4 Sterne.

Die Befehle müssen nicht getippt werden sondern können aus einem Menü eingefügt werden. Die Programmstruktur wird übersichtlich grafisch dargestellt. Schleifen sind deutlich erkennbar. If-then Verzweigungen sind leider nicht so deutlich zu erkennen.

Unser Sohn hatte es nach einem Abend kapiert, wie es geht. Und es macht sooo Spaß, sich mit Ihm den Kopf über die Programmierung zu zerbrechen.
