A example of a 5x5 section.
1
Select a block from the action bar.
These blocks represent functions made of code that a David can understand.
MOREA ‘FD’ Block takes the place of the forward function.
function forward() {
var dis;
david.wheel.right(dis);
david.wheel.left(dis);
}
2
Attach values to blocks.
Change what they do by dragging them into the edit zone.
MOREThe values are like variables passed into the function.
function forward(2) {
var dis = 2;
david.wheel.right(dis);
david.wheel.left(dis);
}
3
Create a script by snapping blocks into the available slots.
There is a limit to how many blocks David can receive. This can be expanded with upgrades.
MOREThe script is the all the code sent to David.
function script() {
function forward(2) {
var dis = 2 * grid.width;
david.wheel.right(dis);
david.wheel.left(dis);
}
function right(1) {
var deg = 1 * 90;
david.wheel.right(-deg);
david.wheel.left(deg);
}
}
Forward
Moves David forward in whatever direction he's pointing.
Backward
Moves David in reverse from whatever direction he's pointing.
Left
David turns on the spot to the left.
Right
David turns on the spot to the right.
Functions
Acquire function blocks from other David's. They can be used to extend David 6's script.
Loops
Repeat a set of blocks many times over.
Conditionals
Check if something is true and then run a set of blocks if it is.
David Control Blocks
Send commands to past past Davids and make use of their different abilities.
So many more...
There are more blocks to discover within sections and new ones being added all the time so keep playing!
David 1
Controllable No
Abilities None
David 1 was the first version of the David rovers sent out. David 1s are light-weight model and are prone to getting stuck in the moss on the planet's surface.
Most of the 1s you'll see will be abandoned on the sides of paths where they we're trapped.
David 2
Controllable Yes
Abilities Plow
David 2s are the big guns. Like a small tank not even the worst moss can slow them down and the plow on the front allows them to clear paths for other Davids.
Watch out for the soft sand however, David 2s are so heavy they sink right in and get trapped.
