THE APP
To ease your entry into the world of programming, we
have developed an app to help you start building
experience in this area.
The core of the app is a video game in which you have to
solve little programming puzzles. But don't be afraid — they
aren't hard, and you will definitely be able to figure them
out. The key to solving the puzzles lies with the code
monsters that you will find at every level. Collect them all,
because you will need them at the computer terminals. The
computer terminals contain incomplete code. To fill in the
blanks, you will need to drag the correct code monster into
the matching blank spaces. To learn more about the
monsters, just tap once or twice on them in your inventory
— and they will tell you which blank space in the code they
will complete.
Use your gamepad to control the characters in the game.
To do this, you must have Bluetooth activated on your
tablet or smartphone. Start the app and switch on the
gamepad by sliding the switch at the upper edge to the
"ON" position. The connection will then be made
automatically in a few seconds. Once the connection is
active, the control elements (arrows and A and B buttons)
will disappear from the screen and you can control the
app with just the gamepad. If you switch off your
gamepad, the control elements will reappear. But the
game is not nearly as much fun without the gamepad!
