INTRODUCTION
Robot City is a didactic puzzle game which allows us to solve
a total of 16 levels by means of small programming
commands in coding language. We will use a small robot in
the game and our programming skills to control it and solve
the different puzzles in each level. It has also a community
where you can share your robot projects and get to know
the project from other young people.
At the beginning select the language in which you want to
play. You can choose between English, Spanish, Portuguese,
Greek and Polish. Please note that the programming
commands are in English, regardless of the language you
select.
HOW TO PLAY?
To start, click on the Start button.
Next we can see the level selector, we can click on the one
we want to play to select it. At the beginning you only see
level 1, as you complete the levels you can choose more.
After selecting the desired level and reading the
corresponding level introduction, we can see that by
clicking on the upper left icon (house), three buttons are
displayed on the left and a command console on the right.
Below we will explain in detail what they are and what they
are used for.
The General, Movement and Interaction buttons contain a
list of commands that, by combining them, will allow us to
control our robot on the map. To do so, we must click on
them and they will be added to the command console on
the right, where we can see our combinations. If we want
all the commands added in this console to be executed, we
must click on execute.
● Movement Tab
In this tab we can choose between different commands
that will allow us to orientate the robot's view towards a
direction and make it move forward or backward.
turnLeft() Turn the robot to the left
turnRight() Turn the robot to the right
The robot moves forward one
moveForward() square
moveBackward() The robot moves back one square
● Interaction Tab
In this tab there is only the push() command;
This will allow the robot to push boxes and other elements
in the scene.
● General Tab
In this tab you will find the most complex commands to
understand, but that will facilitate and help us greatly to
reduce the number of times we repeat a command or a set
of them and in turn enhance our creativity in programming.
Wait(); � Allows us to tell the robot to wait while an action
takes place. For example, on level 16, tell it to wait for the
conveyor belt to release the boxes.
Loop: for-loop � Loops are resources widely used in
programming, they allow us to repeat a certain number of
operations just by writing them once. Example:
The first step is to select the number of times we want the
loop to repeat, then we enter the corresponding commands
we want it to repeat. In this case we would be telling the
robot to move forward 3 times.
Conditional: if-condition � Conditionals are very useful to
indicate that an action will be carried out only in the
circumstances we choose.
For example:
We can instruct the robot that only when it detects a box
of the colour BLUE (AZUL) it pushes it.
FIRST LEVEL TUTORIAL
After selecting the first level we will see a customisation
screen for the robot:
After pressing READY, the level begins. The doctor will give
us a short introduction and welcome.
The level consists of moving the robot to the position
marked on the map.
To carry out this process, click on the arrow in the top left-
hand corner to access the menu of commands.
Once this menu is open, click on movement to see the
movement commands, as we want the robot to advance
three squares to the indicated position.
We click three times on moveForward() to move forward
three boxes, and once they are added to the command
console on the right, we execute the code by clicking on
the corresponding button.
As we can see, the robot moves forward three squares and
stops in the correct position.
Congratulations! You have successfully completed your first
level in Robot City, we invite you to keep playing and see
how much fun programming is.
Keep up the good work!
ROBOT CITY COMMUNITY
Welcome to the Robot City community, if you are a new
user you can easily create an account. Simply add your
name, email and twice the password to start using this
great and connected community.
To log in once registration is complete, simply enter the
username and password you registered with and click the
login button.
CREATE AND SHARE YOUR OWN
PROJECTS
After accessing the community we can see a map with
properties.
Some of them have owners and others can be claimed for
free. Once claimed, the properties can be customised to
your liking.
Here you can share your own projects. You can write your
own robotics project or you can also share a link to a project
you have created on another website, such as
www.instructables.com or your school website.
Robot city is a multilingual game, with an international
community, so you can create your projects in Spanish,
Polish, German, Greek, Portuguese or English. A flag will
appear on your property depending on the language you
use. We advise you to write it in English to reach more
users.
These properties are projects created by the users of the
community, we can also create our own project and share
it. You can appreciate the projects of other users by
clicking "like" on the selected project. We encourage you to
visit the projects of other users and click 👍👍 on the ones
you like the most.

We can also change our user information:
We encourage you to use the community to publish your
robotics projects and also to learn about other people's
projects around the world and to grow your holdings with
new projects.
