Lessons.pdf is the course i'm currently teaching to the children.
UserGuide.pdf will hopefully soon describe the installation, usage and the API of that software.

Until now, please use these short instructions:
-The easiest way to start is to install the Code::Blocks IDE v17.12 (http://www.codeblocks.org/, newer versions may also work) and download HamsterLab_bundle.zip. Extract everything in a directory of your choice and open the project file HamsterLab.cbp within Code::Blocks. That should compile and run out of the box.
-In order to write your own code, just edit hamster_program.c.
-In case you want to create your own levels (hence tasks for the children), setup a new level in maze.c and edit the section of main() in hamster_lab.c where the levels are selected.
-Once you run the code, selected a level and the graphics window appeared, you may use the cursor keys to change window size and game speed.
-Hitting the Enter-key starts the user code.

Enjoy and learn C :)
