1. How is Light-bot like a computer?
Light-bot is like a computer in the sense that it processes one command at a time, as a computer processor core does as well.
2. How is Light-bot different than a computer?
Light-bot is different from a computer because the output of the computer is based only on its input and its state (including its memory). However, for a Light-bot, the state is described by the tile that it is standing on and which direction it is facing.
3. Given your experience with Light-bot, do you think there could be starting points for Light-bot that would not connect to other parts of the full state diagram? Explain.
I think that there aren't any points that wouldn't be able to connect to other parts of the full state diagram because it can jump and walk in any direction that you instruct it to (or in a pattern that you choose) so eventually you would be able to reach any part of the diagram. The only reason why you wouldn't be able to is if they made it impossible, such as putting up a 3-story wall without a 2-story or 1-story step for you to go to.
