CMD Runner Guide

Overview

Give your bots commands to help navigate the grid, avoid obstacles, and match their colors with the exit gates to leave through the gates before using up all the steps.

Click on each bot to open their action stack, give them commands, then run the simulation. Don't worry if your robots die, you can always rewind your actions and try a new command stack

Avoid hitting hazards or the bots will become shredded. Hazards move around the stage at each step, play through the steps, and rewind to see the movements of hazards in advance

Hazards

Exit Gates

Gates indicate what color bots need to be to pass through unharmed, and have a number indicating the number of bots needed to use each exit gate to pass the stage
