I forgot there were rules that make the educational programming activity into an actual game that encourages the junior programmers to be malicious hackers. With opportunities to spoil your opponent's carefully-planned movements by placing a block in their way or zapping them backwards (unless they cleverly preempt this by programming backwards movements anyway – only for you to refrain from zapping them, so they make themselves go backwards for no reason), it has the potential to be evil fun, but I went easy on her.
