SYNTAX

       gvrng [world file | program file]

DESCRIPTION

       Guido  van  Robot  is  a  project  developed by advanced high school students for use by their peers as a
       learning tool and precursor to the further study  of  programming  with  Python.  It  is  a  minimalistic
       programming  language  providing  just  enough  syntax to help students learn the concepts of sequencing,
       conditional branching, looping and procedural abstraction. It's biggest strength is that it permits  this
       learning  in  an environment that combines the thrill of problem-solving with instant visual feedback. In
       short, it is an interactive, introductory programming language that is excellent for learning  the  basic
       concepts  of  programming,  applicable  in any high-level language. Best of all, it's a whole lot of fun,
       too!

       At this point, you are probably asking yourself, "What is GvRng, specifically?" The gist of it is that it
       is a robot represented by a triangle on the screen that moves around in a world made up  of  streets  and
       avenues,  walls  and  "beepers",  which  Guido can collect or set. His actions are completely guided by a
       program written by the user.
