Programming became puzzles! Children can solve it, but adults can't? Lower elementary students could solve puzzles without reading the tutorial. Adults were having a hard time. By failing the program in CatBit, you can understand what is happening in the program by seeing with your eyes. Enjoy the failure! Enjoy the programming!
