A job inside a loop!
The auto-pilot has jobs, loops, and checks.
Today the crew reads a program like that.
A job runs again and again inside a loop.
Nova also has something to show the crew.
It is one of the auto-pilot jobs.
Raven cannot wait to see it.
- Work out the box first.
- Tap the line that runs.
Meet the climb job
The climb job adds 1 to height.
Then it flies up height.
A job inside a loop
set height to 1 set count to 3 repeat count times: do climb stop if height over 3 then land otherwise say safe say height
The loop runs 3 rounds.
Climb runs once each round.
Height goes 2, then 3, then 4.
- Read one chunk at a time.
- Tap the answer.
Build a flight with a job in a loop.
The wave job flashes the lights.
Wave two times, then land.
- Fill count, loop the job, stop.
- Land one time, at the end.
A folded auto-pilot job
This is the check height job.
The drop happens inside it.
Nova keeps it folded for now.
We will open it in the bug hunt!

Jobs in loops? You got it!
A do line inside a loop runs every round.
Long programs are just a few chunks.
