Gridworld Woes


I’m a little ladybug, you tell me what to do One day I’m a CircleBug, the next I’m colored blue GridWorld this and Java that, you tweak my code for fun One day I’m a JumpingBug, the next I won’t even run You say I’m just an Actor, I play a bigger part I fell in love with BoxBug, surprised I have a heart? You say I’m just a program, you’ve got a lot to learn Just listen and I’ll teach you, at long last it’s my turn Trapped within a wall of rocks, you watch me squirm and shriek I can’t stop pooping flowers, please fix that up you geek Those CrabCritters bully me, the PawnBugs are a bore The SpiralBugs are show-offs, please don’t make any more ChameleonCritter hides, and I’m his only friend Unbound this grid I beg you, or this may never end I hit the wall and bounce back, or terminate if you choose You can’t ignore this pattern, in which bugs always lose So before you click on “Run”, consider all I’ve said Make GridWorld a better place, use that brilliant head! Please and thank you in advance, I have one last request A program to marry me, to BoxBug (You’re the best!)
