Angry Birds

In the Angry Birds game, the objective is to use code blocks to move the bird to the pig without running short, running into a wall, or getting blown up by TNT. The different kinds of code blocks available to use were: turn right, turn left, move forward, repeat 5 times, repeat 3 times, or repeat until you get to the pig. It was a goal to use as little number of blocks as you could to complete the level. Each level got significantly harder than the one before it.

Tynker

 Tynker is a whole separate website used to complete many different games and puzzles with multiple levels. Some of the games on Tynker include: "Puppy Adventure", "Lost in Space", "Space Zombies", etc. I played "Puppy Adventure", and in this game, you have to try to get Pixel the puppy home to his family. By using certain codes (such as bark and run), you can help him perform actions that helps him get home. The levels are easy at first and grow increasingly difficult.

Lightbot

 Lightbot is a programming puzzle game that you can play on an iPhone, iPad, Android, or online. It is similar to the other two programming games because it requires certain actions to be coded so that a level can be completed. In this game, you have to light up all the blue squares using programming. Just like in the angry birds game, you have to move forward, left, or right in order to get to the ending spot and complete the level. The level of difficulty increases after each completion.
