HEWBOT is a browser puzzle game for my Hew language: you write a small Hew program, the server compiles and runs it, and your program's output drives a bot through a grid of puzzles. It starts with simple "print the moves" tape levels and ramps up to interactive levels where you read sensors from stdin and print one command per tick.

Later tracks introduce Hew's actor model — patrollers, chasers, signals, and friend actors you exchange messages with — so the game doubles as a hands-on way to learn the language. It's the playful companion to [hew.sh](https://hew.sh).
