Programming in the EV3 environment for the Ruins of Atlantis (with the Virtual
NXT) works the same as if you were programming a physical NXT using the EV3
programming environment. The EV3 programming software will automatically connect
to the Virtual NXT if it is open on your computer, and you don’t have any physical LEGO
robots connected. In the lower-right corner of the interface, there is a series of control
buttons. The button with the LEGO Brick silhouette will allow you to see the Virtual NXT,
named “Virtual NXT” by default.

The Download (downward arrow) button will download programs to the Virtual NXT,
which connects to the virtual robot in Ruins of Atlantis.
The Download and Run (right arrow) button will download a program to the Virtual
NXT AND start running it in Ruins of Atlantis. When working on a challenge, we
recommend placing the virtual robot into a start position in the virtual world, then
pressing the Download and Run button.
