Traveling on board

Usually, I don’t like IT flash games because they don’t really have anything IT in them, so they’ve got them on their knees. But this is not the case with Intel’s “ Robot on Board ” game - it’s twisted so that I’m even a little upset about my own knowledge) However, the game is more for programmers and administrators than for such idlers as me.

The meaning of the game is quite simple - there is a board with many elements along which a small robot moves under your control - it can only move, connect board elements and collect bonuses along special tracks and with knowledge of answers to technical questions. The robot moves through the program, which you collect by dragging commands from the control panel to the designer cells. Each program consists of a main block of commands and two auxiliary functions that can contain 12 and 8 commands, respectively. After its launch, the robot will sequentially execute the command after command from the main unit, simultaneously executing special commands of auxiliary functions. Recursive calls to these functions are allowed ... well, knowledge of algorithms and programming skills are very useful.

There is a single-player game where, roughly speaking, you can “practice on cats”. But when you get your hand, feel free to enter a multiplayer game - all the results will be counted there, then the most interesting will begin) You can play on different cards (on different boards), and if you have time and desire, you can do it something his.

I am afraid that I will only spend your and my time, if I try to retell the rules, it will be easier to learn them as the game progresses. But in short - the better you know the materiel and the more elaborate your algorithm for moving the robot, the better. Both types of games have their rating and, accordingly, their prizes - wireless network adapters, routers and flash drives, but as my experience has shown, it is interesting to try to play and to test your own knowledge.

Separately, I note two points:

* Intel has taken into account the wishes of the previous games, so this time there is a demo entry and you can play without registration. But for the game in multiplayer mode (with prizes) registration is still required.

* For multiplayer game mode, the port 28789 must be open in the system, through which the connection to the game server goes. Keep this in mind, otherwise you may not be able to play.

* If you decide to register for a network game - captcha is case-sensitive!



If you are still reading this text, then it's time to try to play - the same link contains all the rules of the game. And here is additional information, such as prizes.



And the last. As part of the Intel IT Galaxy project, the “ Future of IT is written here ” competition is taking place - you can take part and compete for the top prize in the face of the second generation Intel Core i5 2500 processor .
