Wrong way to measure performance – Cargo-Bot Review

First off brilliant idea! App is well designed with good quality. But there is a fatal problem: the app is giving scores based on number of register used, not the total number of steps that are needed to finish the task. This comes down to what we are teaching our children. Is better to write a simple instruction that takes 100 steps to finish, or is it better to write a more complicated instruction that will finish the job in 10 steps? Or, in computer science, do you want to write a three line code that takes one day to finish, or do you want code with 100 lines but will finish the job in 1 minute. You want to evaluate algorithm based on O(n), not lines of code. I will not let my children touch this app, so that they will not learn the wrong mind set. Change the score system to steps based rather than register based, I will rate 5 star.
