Buildism is a 2D game the game play and building isn't very complex once you learn how to use it, but if you are having some troubles you found the right thread to look into.

Toolbar Help

New place: The name says it all basicly, If you are in a game you can click this button and you will get a new starter map, although your character will be removed. You can add your character back though so no worries.

Save Game: Once again name says it all, but for higher explanation of this it does save your game and it does not save to the site it saves to the computer. The way to save it to the site is by going to file and save to site.

Open: Here is where you can go to open up a game you have saved to your computer or even a file such as models.

Select tool: You can use to move a brick it moves it only moves at the angle you had the brick to begin with. Also can be used to select the brick in the workspace and allow you to change all sorts of things about the brick.

Grab Tool: Is similar to the select tool but moves the brick freely not just straight and sideways. If I had to compare it to something I would say a ragdoll.

Resize Tool: Is used to change the size of the brick if you have a brick that isn't quite the right size you can use this to make it smaller or bigger.

Rotate Tool: If you have a brick that you just want to stick out and be going at an angle then you should try this tool. Remember though you want the brick to be Fixed Inorder for the rotation to stay put.

Hinge: 2 bricks need to be close together and selected inorder to work. So far I can't find any reason why you could use this but if you do then hope it helps.

Group: Turns bircks into one model and allows the workspace to be more organized. Example: Say you made a house and you have furniture you can have things put together like couch, sink, TV, etc.

Cut: If a brick is selected and you click this that birck will be "cut" from the workspace.

Copy: Say you have a brick it is right size, right color and just PERFECT This will make a clone of that brick. Once again the brick must be selected at first.

Square: This is what makes the game what it is now with out it there would just be a sky, This makes all the little bricks on the map. If held down and dragged the brick can be made bigger or smaller.

Circle: Great for making circles obviously. It can be used for making trees and tires and many more things.

Ladder: Is great for climbing high distances that your player can not reach by just a simple jump.

Water: Feel like making a pool, lake, ocean or whatever then this is what you can use to make them.
