Concurrent, Assembly-ish Actor-based Programming for Teens
summary
Robotic is an assembly‑ish language inside MegaZeux that proves surprising specific choices work: no heap or stack all state via globals and game objects, labels-as-message handlers so sending a message jumps execution to that label, and a pre-emptive 40‑command quantum with deterministic top‑left‑to‑bottom‑right scheduling. Examples include two robots with infinite color loops visibly interleaving and over 2,200 games shipped, showing a tactile environment plus these constraints reliably teach concurrency and produce real playable games.
