Here we have a robot
with a very pointy face.
His name is Kaxxt,
he lives in outer space.
-- Why The Lucky Stiff
Kaxxt is _why's concept of a card game to subtly introduce kids to some
basics of programming, including branching, recursion and stack overflows.
He introduced the concept at the end of
his talk at the ART && CODE Symposium.
I've adapted Kaxxt so it can be played using the Icehouse game pieces. They're a good fit, since Kaxxt is about lasers, and involves manipulating tokens to direct the lasers.
Kaxxt on Ice is now open for playtesting.
