About Pond Battle
Pond Battle is the boss level of Blockly Games: program your duck's full strategy — scanning, swimming, aiming, splashing — and let your code compete against three computer ducks in an open pond.
How to play Pond Battle
Write your duck's program (blocks or JavaScript) using scan, cannon and swim commands, then press Run and watch the battle. Lose? Improve the strategy and run it again — that's real programming.
