Stepwise
     execution

Logical
     expressions

Conditions can be refined by using logical expressions with the use of boolean operators. For example, now you're able to express:

if(frontIsWhite() and not rightIsBlack()) { ... }

New basic
     instructions

The robot can now execute the commands north(n), south(n), east(n), west(n) to navigate more easily in the environment in certain situations.

Also the robot can perform random behaviour with the new command flipCoin().

Insert code
     snippet

Basic instructions and controle structures can be inserted in the script from the menu. This saves typework, but is above all a quick reference of the syntax.

Automatic
     script definition
     recognition
