Pick·
Continue one of your games, or start one from a starter game. A starter game always starts a new game; it never writes over one of yours.
Sign in first·
spawn opens on a sign-in: your student ID and PIN, the same as glitch and launch. Nothing in the studio opens until you sign in. Need a PIN, or forgot it? Set one at sfhsbta.com/pin.
Your games, the pictures in Mine, your sounds and tunes, and your co-op log are kept on spawn's server, so a game made at home is there at school. Sign out is in the game menu, under go to.
What is on pick·
| part | what it holds |
|---|---|
| yours in the lobby | the games you have shared, if any |
| continue | your games, each with when it was made, last opened, how long you have spent on it, and which starter it is based on. Delete this game is on each card. |
| start from a starter game | the starter games, each with a picture and a line about how it plays |
| Have a cheat code? | a code your teacher gives out unlocks a starter still being built; it shows as alpha · unlocked with a cheat code |
Never made a game? Pick Starter. Want an empty page? Pick Blank. Starter and Blank open on design first; every other starter game opens on make. A starter a student dreamed up says idea by and their name.
Not sure what to make?
Start a design session in player two talks your idea through with you, then suggests starter games for it: they show on pick as player two suggests, each with why.
A game from a file·
Open a game file, in the game menu, takes a game saved with Back up to a file. It opens as a new game; nothing is written over.
