 Here we have a robot  
 with a very pointy face.  
 His name is Kaxxt,  
 he lives in outer space.  

            -- Why The Lucky Stiff


Kaxxt is _why's concept of a card game to subtly introduce kids to some basics of programming, including branching, recursion and stack overflows. He introduced the concept at the end of his talk at the ART && CODE Symposium.

I've adapted Kaxxt so it can be played using the Icehouse game pieces. They're a good fit, since Kaxxt is about lasers, and involves manipulating tokens to direct the lasers.

Kaxxt on Ice is now open for playtesting.
