Your first world - Newly guides

Build a small world in Simple mode, add one thing that moves with a block script, play it, and share it. No typing code.

What you're making

A small world of your own with one thing in it that reacts when the player touches it. By the end you'll have built, scripted, played and shared a game.

1. Add things

Open the Build shelf on the left. Tap anything to add it to your world: a tree, a crate, a platform. Add five things.

2. Play it

Press Play. Walk around with WASD, jump with Space. Press Stop (or Esc) to come back to building.

3. Make something react

Select one of your things. Open Script and pick Blocks. Drag out:

  1. When a player touches this
  2. inside it, Paint this and pick a colour
  3. then Show "You found it!" on screen for 2 seconds

Press Play and walk into it.

4. Make it yours

Try one of these:

5. Share it

Press Publish to get a link. Swap laptops with a neighbour and play each other's world. Tell them one thing you liked.
