How to create a new object

1. Open your new program

At first, you need to open your new program. You will find it on the homescreen of the Pocket Code app. If you have more than one program, you can click on "Projects on device". Then select your new program. If you have not created a new project or need further information how to do that, have a look here.

2. Create new object

Now you are ready to create a new object. To do that just click on the yellow plus-button on the bottom right corner. You will see a new window giving you seven possibilities to choose from.

• Draw image
  • If you select the first one you get to Pocket Paint. Here you can easily paint your own objects.
• Looks
  • This button takes you to the Share where you can download existing looks, like animals, people, figures, clothing and shoes, nature, things, game control elements, embroidery, fantasy and much more.
• Select image
  • There you can select an image out of your gallery from your phone. Take a photo in advance or download a picture you would like to work with in Pocket Code.
• Library
  • "Library" lets you download several things from the Share.
• Camera
  • Here you can access the camera of your phone to take a photo and implement it instantly.
• Backpack
  • The "Backpack" is something useful where you can store existing objects from other projects to quickly implement in a new project.
• Local projects
  • You can import objects from existing local projects.

To make it as easy as possible for the beginning, we want to use the "Draw image" function and just draw a dot.

When you have drawn the dot with Pocket Paint you can quit it (by going one step back). Now you have to give your picture a name. After that you have to place it visually by shifting it to the left/right or up/down with your finger. You have to save it with the button in the top right corner.
