Step-by-step lessons walk players through programming games based on plans before they can play them, and then Free Programming mode allows players to develop custom designs.

Naturally, you can also share games you build with others via the internet or locally from one console to another, and you can take a peek under the hood of someone else's game to understand how they programmed it.

A press of a button switches games between playing and building mode, and it even allows the use of a mouse for players who need the additional control method.
