Instructing LightBot Through Code and Computational Thinking

In decomposing and solving this procedural LightBot challenge, I knew that I first needed to look for patterns of repeated commands within the challenge and then adapt this pattern into a reusable P1 command. I could immediately recognize that, in each row of the challenge, the LightBot had to move forward for three steps in a row and then light up a square, so I decided that my model for an eventual series of commands should include these three step forwards and a light as the P1 command shortcut. Using this shortcut, I created an algorithmic command series which replaced the three steps and one light with a single P1 command, bridging each P1 key with a jump or rotation and creating a series of concise algorithmic instructions for the LightBot's movement.
