Recently, I’ve been interested in Scheme language, quite a lot. Still not remembering how, but I’ve somehow seen GNU Robots. This game turned out to be a very nice one to test the algorithms before actually creating a robot that moves around 
I would also recommend looking at the FAQ page of the game. Here is an excerpt from that page:
Is GNU Robots the same as GNOME Robots, BSD Robots?
No, GNU Robots is a completely different game concept. With GNOME Robots and BSD Robots, the idea is that you control a player that is trying to run away from a bunch of mindless robots. With GNU Robots, the idea is that you write a program for a robot, then watch him explore a world. Once you set your GNU Robot loose, the robot is entirely independent of you, and must navigate the game map using only the logic that you provided in your robot program.
Anyhow, creating a robot-mind is surely a great experience [for example, to practice Scheme more] and also enjoyable. To learn Scheme, you can have a look up tutorials on-line. Under GNU/Linux, you can also try guile, or DrScheme to test your programs.
