View source for Rule-tris introduction to programming

All kids love Tetris, so why not help them learn programming by making a
Tetris-playing robot? You need to start with a simple Tetris port on the
Raspberry Pi (code your own, or use an open source version), then add
facilities allowing kids to "play" it automatically with the assistance of
an interpreted rule language. This language can be applied by users to
define piece rotations and movements based on queries of the current game
state and simple algebraic expressions. The rule condition queries and
actions must be sufficiently constrained that it would take significant
coding effort to make an optimal player, but should also be simple enough to
provide incremental feedback for students, so that each new rule (if
correctly specified) produces satisfying improvements.
