Bots are Stupid - Hints and Tips!

Hello everyone! If youre reading this, youre probably looking for ways to improve your game, to get the best time possible in each of the levels with the least amount of lines in your code or simply have a better time within the game Hopefully, these few hints and tips will help you along your journey within Bots are Stupid! #1 The first tip I can give you is to be patient; even if you are not aiming for the best score possible and just aiming to complete each level, it will take time to tweak your instructions and many failures until you can complete most levels.
#2 Tip numero 2. While tweaking your instructions, it is possible to pause and slowly move backwards or forwards in time without having to restart. This will allow you to get the exact timing to hook yourself away from certain death or propel you towards completion without having to restart each time. Though I would recommend playing the entire run at times just to see if there are ways to improve your instructions!
#3 A Simple trick - but most windows short keys work within Bots. This means you can utilise CTRL + A to select all your lines, CTRL C + V to copy and paste instructions etc. Use it to your advantage! #4 The hook may not work how you expect it to, so practice using it. It is a fantastic tool to help keep your momentum going around corners and throughout the level at high speeds, especially if you utilise jumps in conjunction with the hook.
#5 There might be times when you think that you are hitting a boost or an orb, but it is not triggering when you expect it to. Go into your settings > Graphics and turn the particle amount down if you have them turned up, to see if you actually were hitting them, as it can make a difference!
Hopefully, these helped or gave you ideas on what to do as you progress through the levels, but if you think you have any hints and/or tips that you want to share with everyone, make sure to leave them in the comments for everyone to see, and who knows, maybe well update this post in the future referencing you!

  • A 2D game where you try to maneuver robots through different platforming levels. It sets itself apart from conventional platformers by offering an alternative, more precise way of user input. Instead of directly controlling the character’s movement, the player has to write a set of simple instructions telling his robot what to do. The bot will then follow those instructions precisely and maybe (or maybe not) finish the level.

    Beginner-friendly

    The commands for the robots are designed to be as simple as possible in order to make the game accessible to anyone. This means that you are not required to have any prior programming/tech knowledge to be able to “program” the bots. The game might also have an educational value by introducing players to the very basics of scripting/programming in a playful way.
