Lightbot 2.0

• Light-Bot 2.0 is online puzzle game built on the principles of visual programming.

• Light-Bot 2 contains a set of standard levels divided into four categories: basic, recursion, conditionals, and expert

Concepts: • Logic• sequential programming• functions (created named blocks

of commands that execute when you use the name)

• recursion (when a function calls itself)

• conditionals (executing code when something is true).

Lightbot 2.0 In the game, the Lightbot 2.0 is programmed by arranging icons representing discrete actions onto a grid. The possible actions are:
