NAME

       gvrng - An interactive, introductory programming language.

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.
