What is Bloxels

What are Bloxels? Bloxels are tiny 3D blocks with colors that resemble their purpose. They are placed into a coordinate plain type grid and scanned by a camera to create a video game that you can play consisting of check points, terrain, enemies, coins, and other obstacles. You are able to put power ups in the level that can help you complete the course. These power ups might be a jet pack or bomb throwing. Lastly, to make the level educational you can put check points in the level that are not the finish line but, are fact blocks.

A Bloxels purpose

There is a trick to Bloxels. You need to know what the colors are. So red is lava. Lava can hurt you quickly. White is a story block. A story block can be a checkpoint that you can type words or facts in that can be seen on the game when playing it. Yellow is coins. You can collect coins and if you collect them then you might get 100%. Blue is liquid. You can float in the water. Pink is power ups. You can get a bomb, extra health, and jet-pack, a shrink potion, invincibility, and a map. Green is terrain. You can walk on terrain. Purple is enemies. Enemies can hurt you and you can eliminate them by shooting them three times. Orange is action. Action can not hurt you but you can destroy it to get into secret hideouts.

How to get started

You get started by putting the blocks on the grid/game board. Next you adjust the the blocks until you get the setup you want. Then you get your device and get the Bloxel app and take a picture of your setup and play the game.Finally you can add blocks to the grid until you want the level that you want to play on.

How to use the grid

In order to create your video game you have to master using the grid. When using the grid you can place blocks in slots to create new levels with terrain and check points. You have to be careful because if you place the terrain blocks in the wrong place your character will fall off the map making the level impossible to complete. If you want to make the level more fun and challenging put the check point in a place guarded by enemies or has par cor on the way to it. You do this by putting more terrain blocks higher on the grid than the terrain blocks used for the main floor. Make sure to put other terrain blocks leading up the the finish point, an idea would be to put them in a spaced out stair pattern. Mastering the grid is a skill needed to use Bloxel.
