Toolbox

In each of the different modes in the toolbox, the controller buttons have different functions. Press B on the right controller, or Y on the left controller to bring up the toolbox. You have the option to code, draw, or extrude.

Code Mode

Code Mode is the most used mode in Embodied Code, so it is important to know how to use it.
