Context - Why did we start P12 Editor Bootcamp?

In the vast world of gaming, UGC (User Generated Content) remains to be one of the most under-valued sectors in gaming, as few players get to become a creator without the required skill sets.

PGE (P12 GPark Editor) leads with innovation on solving such problem, transforming player’s game editing experience from CLI (Command Line Interface) to GUI (Graphical User Interface), dramatically lowering the entry barrier for game creation, allowing game editing to be a feasible entertainment for every players.

However, we are aware that some new users may find it challenging to navigate through the vast information available on the PGE, and it is our mission to guide our user through an intuitive tutorial - the P12 Editor Bootcamp. which is focused on providing weekly tutorial tasks to teach everyone how to use the P12 Gpark Editor effectively.

Crafting a Pixel Staircase: A Journey in P12 Editor

2. Ground Zero The canvas awaits your touch. Imagine it as parchment, eager for ink. Seek the ground, adjust its hues—the very earth upon which your vision will unfold. You’re an artist now, shaping pixels like clay.

3. Dimensions Unleashed Geometry becomes your lexicon. “Ten units long, two units wide, three units high,” you murmur. The ground obeys, stretching into a rectangular prism—a stage for your creativity. It yearns to host dreams, pixel by pixel.

4. The Copycat’s Ballet Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V—the incantations of duplication. Click upon the floor, copy its essence, and paste it into existence. Now you wield twins: two floors, side by side. But these are no ordinary floors; they are steps waiting to ascend.
