Lightbot is an educational video game for learning software programming concepts, developed by Danny Yaroslavski. Lightbot has been played 7 million times, and is highly rated on iTunes and Google Play store.[2][3][4] Lightbot is available as an online Flash game, and an application for Android and iOS mobile phones.[5] Lightbot has been built with Flash and OpenFL.[1]
The goal of Lightbot is to command a little robot to navigate a maze and turn on lights.[6] Players arrange symbols on the screen to command the robot to walk, turn, jump, switch on a light and so on. The maze and the list of symbols become more complicated as the lessons progress.[6] While using such commands, players learn programming concepts like loops, procedures and more, without entering code in any programming language.[6]
