Game: Code Without a Computer

Writing computer programs requires lots of specialized knowledge... you need to know a programming language, a text editor / IDE, the runtime environment, and the libraries available to you. How do you write programs without getting overwhelmed?

Take your cue from the great playwrights of the past, and write a script. Take out a sheet of paper and write down the steps necessary to code yourself out of the room. Three steps forward. Turn left. Two steps forward... Then run the program. How did you do?

For an added challenge, place books on the floor as obstacles and code your way around them.
