On this next level, you can pick to [br]be either Steve or Alex.

0:00:10.320,0:00:16.670
Press the arrow buttons on your keyboard to[br]move up, down, left, and right.

0:00:16.670,0:00:20.890
Now you can move around a level wherever you[br]want.

0:00:20.890,0:00:27.340
To use a creature, just walk towards it, turn[br]to face it, and press the spacebar.

0:00:27.340,0:00:34.280
If you're using a touch screen, swipe up,[br]down, left, and right to move around.

0:00:34.280,0:00:38.829
Then tap the game to use the item in front[br]of you.

0:00:38.829,0:00:41.100
But what happens when you use it?

0:00:41.100,0:00:46.851
In Minecraft, sheep drop wool when you shear[br]them, cows run away when you hit them, and

0:00:46.851,0:00:51.219
creepers explode when you get near them.

0:00:51.219,0:00:55.440
These reactions happen thanks to something[br]called events.

0:00:55.440,0:01:00.010
Events tell your program to listen or wait[br]for when something happens.

0:01:00.010,0:01:02.859
And when it does, perform an action.

0:01:02.859,0:01:08.340
So far, you've used one event. Code you put[br]in the "when spawned" slot runs when your

0:01:08.340,0:01:12.120
creature is created or when the game starts.

0:01:12.120,0:01:17.780
Over the next few levels you'll have new slots[br]for events such as "when touched" that runs

0:01:17.780,0:01:23.060
when you touch the creature, or "when used"[br]for when you use the creature.

0:01:23.060,0:01:29.820
Or, if you want your zombie to disappear when[br]the sun comes up, put that in the "when day" slot
