  Learn how to build robots to carry out simple tasks.
#
# Has to be easy, so that you do not have to debug it too much yet.
#
objectives:
  - goal:
      - Now that you know basic commands, it is time to
        build robots to do the work for you.
        You will start in a base ('Ω') that does not move (at least not yet).
      - Let's start by building a gardener robot to perform a simple task.
      - You can build a robot with `build {COMMANDS}`,
        where in place of `COMMANDS` you write the sequence
        of commands for the robot to execute (separated by semicolons).
      - Build a robot to harvest the flower and place it next
        to the water.
      - |
        TIP: You can use the name of the flower directly ("pickerelweed"),
        or you can use bind notation: `f <- harvest; ... ; place f;`.
      - |
        TIP: Newly built robots start out facing the same
        direction as their parent, which in the tutorials will always be north.

      - A small plant that grows near the water.
    properties: [known, portable, growable]
    # It would make sense for the plant to NOT grow away from water.
    # But if the player sent a robot that grabbed it and then did not
    # place it, another robot would need to salvage that robot.
