RobotPals
You are the Coder: give the Robot steps — Forward, turn Left, turn Right — then press Run and watch it walk the grid to the flag. RobotPals teaches the first idea of coding — an exact list of steps, run in order — with big buttons, sounds, and no way to lose (a bump just says "fix your steps and try again"). Play it with a friend: one codes, one is the Robot. On-device, no account. Ages 6–8.
▶ Play it nowBuilt for sittings of about 15 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, asks, and patiently scaffolds learning.

Meet the cast
RobotPals' coding friends each embody one move of a program — the crew IS the idea: Forth steps forward, Lefty turns left, Righty turns right, and mentor Codey keeps the coder habit: a program is an exact list of steps, run in order; if the Robot bumps, fix a step and run again. It is the unplugged idea of coding — an exact recipe a Robot follows on a real floor grid.
Forth
Forward — the Robot takes one step the way it is facing (a step is a step, always in the facing direction)
Lefty
turn Left — the Robot spins to face left but does NOT move (a turn changes which way, never where)
Righty
turn Right — the Robot spins to face right but does NOT move (a turn changes which way, never where)
Codey
a program is an exact list of steps run in order; if the Robot bumps a wall, fix a step and run again. There is no way to lose.
