More about this game
In Petits Codeurs, you guide a robot friend through grid-based puzzles by writing code. You start by using simple arrow commands, which the game translates into real programming languages like Python. As you progress through 32 main levels, you unlock loops, functions, and conditions to solve more complex layouts. The goal is to reach the target flag, collect stars, or gather a specific number of apples within a strict block limit. A run ends when you successfully complete the objective or hit an obstacle like a rock.
Tips
- Use the loop button to repeat a command up to 9 times. This is essential for staying under the maximum block limit on longer paths.
- If you get stuck, tap the lightbulb hint button. It will highlight the correct next command you need to add to your sequence.
- Tap the 'Explique' button to have Professor Owl explain your program line by line, helping you understand how the real code works.
