App Description

Using just three simple commands (forward, left, and right ), guide the mouse Algernon through a maze to reach a piece of cheese. This app is especially appropriate for elementary school age students. It develops estimation skills, illustrates how turning left and right depend on a person's point of view, and introduces the process of program writing and debugging.
