Solutions

The purpose of the game is to program the bot to collect the green bits while avoiding the red bugs.
Choose a scenario (One Above, Box,...) on the main menu. The playing field will be displayed. Select the Code button to bring up the coding window. Then choose Commands to show the available commands.  Descriptions of the commands are below.

Tapping on a command will add it to the code window. Once a command is added to the code window, it can be indented by tapping on its left or right side. Tapping in the middle of the command will select or de-select it. Commands can be deleted by clicking the Delete button in the menu.

Commands that are to be executed when an if, else, while, or repeat statement is used should be indented.  See below for an example which makes the bot turn left if there is a bug in front of it; otherwise the bot will move.

Once the code is complete, press the Load button to load the scenario. Then press the Start button to execute the commands. If the bot collects all bits or hits a bug, the execution will end.

New commands are added after the command with the yellow border.  If you want to add a command before all of the commands, de-select all commands.

Your score is based on the number of bits you collect.  The first bit is worth 1 point, the second 2 points, the third 4 points, and so on.

Example
