How to use scenes

How to create a scene and play the project

When you open a new project, you will now see the option to create a new scene.

To preview the project from a scene, you can press "Play" and it will start from that scene. Once you have code in your project, the Play button will turn teal so that you can play the code.

Or you can press "Play" from the scenes menu, and it will play the project from the start.

How to reorder, rename, duplicate and delete scenes

In the scenes menu, if you long-press or drag on a scene, you will see a number of options come up. You can:

rename a scene — change its name
duplicate a scene — make a copy of the scene with all the objects and code
delete a scene

If you drag the scene, it will let you re-order it in the list.

How to change the scene in your game or project

You can use the "Change Scene" block to change to another scene while the project is playing. You can read more on our article for the Change Scene block.
