🧭 Your first game in 4 steps

1. Open the Studio. Your code is on the left, your game on the right.
2. Press the green ▶ Run button (or Ctrl + Enter).
3. Change something in the code – a picture name, a number, a color – and press Run again.
4. Scan the QR code with a phone camera to play your game on the phone!

🗺️ The game screen

The screen is 400 steps wide and 600 steps tall. x goes left → right, y goes top → bottom. So stamp('cat', 200, 300) puts a cat right in the middle.

Bigger x = further right. Bigger y = further down.

🐞 When something goes wrong

• Zip will tell you the line number and turn it red in the editor.
• Check spelling and capital letters: gameOver is not gameover.
• Every ( needs a ) and every { needs a }.
• Words in code need quotes: 'cat' not cat.
• Use print(something) to see what's going on in the Messages box.

✨ All the commands

📱 Sharing games

• Every time you press Run, your game gets its own link and QR code.
• Anyone with the link can play it – and press Remix to make their own version.
• Never put your real name, address or other private info in a game you share.
