  • Virtual Robots now available on Steam - 1 November 2017

    Probably the nerdiest game ever made, if you want to consider it a game. Virtual Robots - Robot programming simulator was made for people who like programming and robots. Objective of this game is to WRITE code for your robots. You will see a lot of compiler error messages, you will see your robots bumping into each other and of course you will see how your robots don't understand what you are trying to tell them. Nonetheless, once you start to understand your robots you will see that writing code for them is not that hard. Good luck, have fun and don't let the first missteps discourage you.

Short description

Virtual Robots is a robot programming simulator. The objective of this game is to write code for your robots. Yes, WRITE.

About this game

Virtual Robots is a robot programming simulator. The objective of this game is to write code for your robots. Yes, WRITE . Ironically, this game does not have a code editor. The best code editor you can get for Virtual Robots is probably Notepad++. If you decide to use Notepad++ you can find syntax highlighter in "scripts/notepad++pyrois". After you write code, you can assign it to your robots and watch them do, what you told them to do. If there are any compilation errors in your code, game will tell you by pointing at the line, where the first compilation error occurred. Robots can carry boxes, use guns and swords, navigate through a maze and open doors with sensors. Robots use Pyrois scripting language for their code. Pyrois is an interpreted language with syntax similar to C++ and Java. Game features 11 tutorial levels that can help you understand how robots work. Tutorial 0 should also teach you how to use Pyrois scripting language. This game was first intended to be used in schools and collages where students show interest in robot programming but don't have access to real robots or don't have sufficient amount of them. Easier levels are simple "go to" levels. Harder levels require robots to observe the environment for objects and other robots. There are 18 levels that require you to write code for your robots. Game has also few custom levels that were used for development and can now be used to test different scripts. About game interface languages: Game interface language can be set to English, German or Slovak but comments in script examples are always written in English.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 25, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $9.99
  • Highest observed: $9.99

Virtual Robots - Robot programming simulator's USD price history spans from Sep 25, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $9.99, the highest is $9.99, and the first visible tracked price is $9.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Virtual Robots - Robot programming simulator's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99, from Sep 25, 2026 through Sep 25, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99. The latest run records $9.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $9.99
  • Current list price: $9.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Virtual Robots - Robot programming simulator at $9.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
