What's the worst that could happen?
How to get started
1. Explore the site. Run Worlds.
- Explore the menu bar. Browse the lists of Worlds. Click World images to run them. See How to run Worlds.
- Read the Quick overview and List of features and Introduction.
2. See how coding on this site works. Do the Tutorial.
- Work through the Start Tutorial. This shows you how coding on this site works. This does not assume you have ever written a program.
- See How to write code on this site. When coding, see the "Docs" menu for all the documentation you need.
- The tutorial looks at coding the following Worlds:
