Teaches bad programming practices – Cargo-Bot Review

This game rewards "cleverness" over efficiency. If your solution makes a hundred unnecessary moves but only takes up two slots, that's a "good" thing here. This is opposite to good programming practice, where efficiency (avoiding unnecessary steps) is a pretty big deal. Also, the tutorials don't really teach you how to solve anything, so the learning curve is pretty steep for non-programmers. As a game, it could be fun if you grok it; but as a tool to teach programming concepts, it's fundamentally flawed.
