Welcome to Kodu.When you start Kodu click on New World.

Now you need to add a bit more land. Click on the ground paint brush and add some land to your world. Don’t add too much at this stage, just a few squares.

Now you need to add Kodu. Click on Kodu, then click on the land and a menu appears.

Click on Kodu and he will appear on your land.

To make Kodu do anything we need to program him. To do this right click on Kodu and this menu appears. Next click left click Program.

We want to make Kodu move. By pressing the + sign we can start to program him. Hopefully this will make him go forward. When we have programmed him press esc to return back to the screen. (The buttons on the left hand side help you.)

Now press this button and you should be able to control Kodu with the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Now add some apples. (Same as Kodu but apples.) Then program Kodu to eat the apples when it bumps into them.

Experiment and see what you can do. Save your work by going to the house and it will open a menu to help you save your work but don’t worry if you can’t. The main point is to find out about using Kodu.
