+ <_goal>In this activity, you will learn how to enter commands to a computer.
+Even if the language is extremely basic, you learn here how to think ahead and enter a program.
+This activity can be used to introduce the programming concept to kids.</_goal>
<_manual>In the text entry, enter line by line commands to give direction to your boat.
-Commands supported are displayed between the two entry area.</_manual>
+Commands supported are displayed between the two entry area.
+The 'left' and 'right' commands must be suffixed by an angle in degree. The angle value is also
+called a 'parameter' to the left or right command. By default 45 degree is used.
+The 'forward' command accept a distance parameter. By default 1 is used.
+For example:
+left 90 => Make a perpendicular left turn
+forward 10 => Go forward for 10 units (as displayed in the ruler)
+The goal is to reach the right of the screen (the red line).
+When done, you can try to improve your program and start a new race with the same weather
+ conditions by using the retry button.
+Going to the next level will give your more complex wether conditions.</_manual>
