optimized for line following

hello
im new to basic stamps and im very new to programming.
i bought the boe-bot full kit from parallax and i was
interrested in the line following program. i typed in
the code, downloaded it onto the stamp, and i dont
know if it is the photo resistor or the lighting of
the room that has problems, but it has trouble
detecting the black line on the white surface. i used
construction paper as the surface and a black electric
tape for the line. maybe the program isnt optimized or
am i being wrong? can someone help me out with a
better code and if the schematic is modified, can you
add some notes too? im in 1rst year college and i want
to start things off ahead.
thank you.

Might cut some strips of black construction paper and see if it sees those
better. I haven't looked at this particular lesson in the Parallax guide,
but there may also be a way to tweak the code or circuit to get it to work
properly.
As a side note, our club uses black photographic background paper and some
sort of white vinyl tape for our line following course -- it seems to be
less problematic than black lines on a white surface.
