Cargo-Bot Features Puzzle Challenges, Unique Development Story

April 23, 2012
A first of its kind app, the newly released game Cargo-Bot was prototyped, programmed, and polished completely using an iPad. The free game sees users teaching robots how to move crates in 36 different puzzling levels. The app features Retina-enabled graphics while allowing players to record their solutions and share them on YouTube. Here’s a quick video about the game. Click here if you can’t see the video. While the game looks like fun, it’s also unique because of how it was created. Using Codea, a touch-based iPad programming app, creator Rui Viana developed his initial prototype and shared with fellow users. Codea’s developer, Two Lives Left, took notice and worked with Viana to turn his vision into an App Store game. Fred Bogg, a composer who developed the music library for Codea, also lent his support and created the music for Cargo-Bot. Codea is available for $9.99 in the App Store while Cargo-Bot is free. Both apps are iPad only. I’m interested to try out the game. Does the release of the app signal that iPad coding and programming is about to become commonplace? (Via 9to5Mac)
