BugBotLab

Write code. Drive a robot. Get it home.

BugBot is a little robot a long way from home. Every level is a room he has to escape, and the only way out is the Python code you write. Press Run, watch him drive in a real 3D simulator, and see what your code actually does, overshoots and all.

How it plays

• Short levels. Each one adds a single line of code or a single new idea.
• Real physics. A real robot simulator decides whether your code works, not a multiple-choice quiz.
• Stuck? cards explain each new command the first time you need it.
• A road home across a world map, with a checkpoint level at the end of every set.

Three worlds

• The Lab: drive, turn, wait for doors, and learn variables and loops.
• The Scrapyard: if, while and your own functions.
• The Overgrown City: read sensors, steer by the camera and build a robot that thinks for itself.

What the code looks like

from bugbot import *
connect()

for i in range(4):
    forward(speed=60, distance=30)
    turn_right(speed=60, angle=90)

No install and no experience needed. Works on phone, tablet and desktop. Great for ages 10 and up, classrooms, and anyone curious about coding.
