Rules

1. Coding Rules:

    1.1: The Coding Block Costs: All coding blocks except the Loop Block have cost of 1
    1.2: Loop Block cost is the sum of all the blocks in the Loop Block
    1.3: Loop Block has a default counter of 1 which can be changed using the drop down next to it(maximum counter is 10
    1.4: Loop Blocks cannot be nested in each other for simplicity.

2. Movement Rules:

    2.1: The robot can move to empty tiles on the board.
    2.2: The robot can move forwards and backwards using the corresponding code block.
    2.3: The robot can rotate to the left or right with respect to the direction it's facing.
    2.4: The robot must have at least 3 energy to rotate (This requirement can increase or decrease based on power ups/downs)
    2.5: The robot can move onto tiles occupied by power up/down.
    2.6: The robot cannot move out of bounds (grayed out tiles) or onto the tiles which are occupied by a rock.
    2.7: The robot cannot move onto the other robot.
    2.8: The robot must have at least 5 energy to move (This requirement can increase or decrease based on power ups/downs)

3. Mining Rules:

    3.1: The robot can mine rocks in adjacent tiles.
    3.2: The robot must also face the rock to mine it.
    3.3: The robot must have at least 10 energy to mine (This requirement can increase or decrease based on power ups/downs)
    3.4: Rock Placement Rules:
        3.3.1: Rocks can be placed on empty tiles of the board that are not out of bounds
        3.3.2: The robot must have at least 7 energy to place a rock (This requirement can increase or decrease based on power ups/downs)

4. Power Up/Down Rules:

    4.1: The power  Up/Downs are in chests around the map
    4.2: The power Up/Downs are pseudo random
    4.3: Power Up/Down Types:
        4.3.1: Battery Pack:    Gives the player 50 energy
        4.3.2: Mining Boost:    For the next 10 movements cost of mining will be 0
        4.3.3: Movement Boost:  For the next 10 movements cost of movement will be 0

5. Turn Rules:

    5.1: Time limit:  Each turn the coding phase will have a 60 seconds time limit
    5.2: Ending turn: When the player finished programing the robot they can submit their code
    5.3: Submitting:  The player can submit their code before the time limit or whatever is in the coding panel will get submitted automatically.
    5.4: Turn limit:  There is an 10 turn limit on the game.

6. Point Rules:

    6.1: Gathering:       The players will get points by mining the points
    6.2: Types of Points: There are three type of points, 5 points, 10 points, 20 points.

7. Winning and loosing:

    7.1 Winning:
        7.1.1: Turn limit reached:  The player with the higher score at when the turn limit is reached will win
        7.1.2: Point limit reached: The player who gets to the point limit 100 will win
    7.2 Losing: If you don't win you'll lose :)
