This is great, although not available in my region. I'll see if I can find one.

thanks for sharing. I have played similar games with them with cards and toys. On a grid. Pretty much exactly the same as this but manual. I execute their code and move the character.

This gives them good understanding of what a program is. What an ibterpreter/compiler is and what is execution.

I would also love to drive them more towards mathematical thinking and functional programming instead of procedural and object oriented thinking.
