  1. You're Hired (cutscene)
    1. Robots have been able to take over all useful work, but people are complaining that they want work, so they're going to be given busywork. You see an alien hand reach from out-of-frame twice, making me think aliens are behind both the robots and this new jobs plan. Your job is to write the instructions for the humans to follow.
  2. Welcome, New Employees
    • Introduces the step, pickUp, and drop commands.
  3. Transport Squad
    • Introduces you to the idea of repeating commands (in this case, you put two step commands in a row to have the workers step two times).
  4. Long Distance Delivery
    • Introduces you to the jump command, which lets you loop your commands (in this case, looping the step command).
  5. An Important Decision
    1. Introduces you to the if/else commands.
  6. Little Exterminator 1
    1. Introduces you to the concept of a bug: there's a problem in a pre-existing program and your task is to find it and fix it.
  7. Collation Station
    1. This one seems to be the first puzzle where you need a nested if/else statement.
    2. Introduces you to the comment command.
  8. Intro to Morale Officers (cutscene)
    1. Doesn't seem to advance the plot. It's just two robots congratulating you on your progress and explaining how to congratulate a worker (with a kind word and a pat on the butt).
  9. Dynamic Angles
    1. Introduces optional size and speed challenges, which you can ask the boss about.
  10. Emergency Escapades
    1. Has a four-level-deep nested if/else statement.
    2. Has you control a person based on the number on a data cube at their location.
  11. Injection Sites 1
    1. Introduces you to the fact that an 'if' statement can have more than one condition.

  42. Important Email Organization
    1. Task: A 6x10 area of randomly-numbered data cubes ("emails") numbered 0 through 99 needs to be sorted into shredders numbered 0 through 9, depending on the tens-place of the email.
    2. You have to deal with how to get the human to know which shredder to drop the cube in. I used a Memory slot to store their number divided by 10 and then just compared the label below them to that result.
    3. You have to deal with the "pick up nearest data cube" command leading the humans to pick up the labels above the shredders. I dealt with this by having them walk up to the top of the room before looking for their next data cube.
    4. You have to deal with the humans trying to pick up the label data cubes after they've exhausted all the 'normal' data cubes. I did this by having each human deal with 12 data cubes and then stop (because there are 60 total cubes that need to be shredded).
  43. Multiplication Table
