This toy lets you play with virtual blocks to build castles of glass that hover in a black void. (And who wouldn't want to do that?)
The shape selector lets you choose from six different blocks. Click the shape in the center of the selector to cycle through your options. When you find the shape you want to use, click one of the directional arrows to add a block in that direction.
Informative Diagram
The "X" selection doesn't add a block to your castle - it shows a box outline that you can use to position your next block. Move the red outlined box to the spot where you want to place the next block, change to the shape you want to use, then click any of the colored arrows to drop a shape on that spot. You can then continue adding blocks as before.
The striped green ball is a virtual trackball that lets you rotate around the castle to view it from any angle. The shape selector stays aligned with your castle so that the arrow you click will add a block in the correct direction.
The striped blue disk lets you zoom in for a closer look or zoom out to take in the majesty of your castle as a whole.
The striped yellow cross lets you pan up and down and sideways to move the castle to a more convenient viewing position.
Should you get carried away with the green ball, blue disk and the yellow cross, click Home to return to your starting view.
Once you've built your castle, click Explore to change your viewpoint and tour your new domain. Change the viewpoint back to Create to continue building your castle.
