What's new in v1

Initial release of Rover Coder

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

It takes so long to get signals back and forth to Mars that you can’t just drive a rover, you have to program how you want it to move. See if you can get this rover to various targets. Each level will get a little harder, but we’ll give you more programming commands to help. And if you’d rather just draw in the sand, try the Free Play mode. Note: this app was designed for tablets, so the text will be small on phones. We're working on a new version that should be more readable.

Rover Coder APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Rover Coder APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is b14b9333854dac64a99a4ecd300b954a.
