Lightbot 2.0 - Free Flash Game Teaches Programming Logic

I stumbled upon this great little gem on Reddit the other day: it's a free flash game that teaches you how to solve puzzles using programming style logic. You use functions, recursion and other programming tools and tricks to control a little man trying to solve his way through puzzles. It's brilliantly designed and has already helped me get a colleague of mine starting to think like a scripter.


"Light-bot is back, more puzzling than ever! Use programmer-style logic to tell the bot how to light up all the blue tiles! Functions, conditionals, recursion, expert levels- many different features for new and old players."

It's called Lightbot 2.0 and can be found here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/Coolio_Niato/lighbot-2-0
