Light-Bot is a programming puzzle game where you create a set of instructions to navigate a robot around a grid and turn on a series of lights. In order to accomplish this task, you are provided with a main method and two functions into which you insert commands which move the robot. There is a finite number of commands which will fit in each function and a slightly larger number of commands that will fit in main.
Functions are called by inserting their icon into main's instruction set. Calling functions within another function can also yield a greater efficiency and is a required solution in the later game levels. Your score is affected by the number of instruction slots that are left over when you successfully complete the stage.
While programming experience isn't needed, knowing how to efficiently build functions to supplement main is an important skill to learn if you want to do well in this game.
