3D Game Programming for Kids, 2nd Edition

Programming with the 3DE Code Editor

In this book, we use the 3DE Code Editor, or 3DE for short, to do our programming. Some of the many important features of 3DE are:

• It runs right in your browser.

• It lets us type in our programming code and see the results immediately.

• Your work is saved automatically every time you type—you can also save from the menu if you want.

• You can download projects for use on other sites (we’ll talk about that in Chapter 20, ​Getting Code on the Web​).

• You can export all projects for backups or to load them on another computer.

• It runs offline—after the first visit, 3DE is stored in your browser so you can keep working even if you’re not connected to the internet!

Remember, you’ll need to use the Google Chrome browser ...
