It could teach programming

When I first found the game, I loved it. I quickly downloaded, played and got to the most interesting part: the ROBOTS. I think that putting programmable robots into a survival game is a great idea. Then I thought one showed it to my little sister. She also liked it, and at the time, she was studiing programming in school. The next day, I showed our IT teacher the game, and next day he came to me for tips. On that day's afternoon my sister told me that they plyed the game in IT class and they also liked it. So, sorry for writing this much, but I just wanted to share this with you, and give you something to think about.

Woah, Amazing story! Thanks. Yes we've been thinking seriously about using Autonauts in schools to teach the basics of programming. There's a long way to go but hopefully we'll get there.

I'm very young at this time, but I hope that - in the future - maybe my children could use  Autonauts as a way to learn programming, instead of the boring and old programmes that we use now. 

If you're going to use scratch at school, this game is way more fun that just moving a dot around the screen.
