Welcome to Ant Game

Introduction

Ant Game is a simple game that teaches kids programming. A game map consists of cells of different types (cubes, holes, occupied cells) and one Ant. Kids control Ant by giving it a list of simple commands (move up, jump left, etc). Each map has a problem to be solved (put all cubes in one line, for example). Teachers create maps and problems, kids solve them. Listings of Ant commands can be saved in a file and shared. The software is written in Java, using JavaFX and other helper libraries.

Please note, that Java 8 is required.
