                         Block Toolbox: The Toolbox is your source for all the necessary code elements to create
                         your game. These elements are neatly categorised in drawers based on their functions and
                         methods.

                         Programming workspace: The workspace is your creative canvas, where you construct your
                         game. You can grab blocks from the toolbox and place them where you need them. Blocks can
                         be copied, moved, or customised once they're in the workspace.
                         Game Simulator:  Experience  your  game  in action  within  a fully operational  game  board
                         simulator. This feature lets you run, test, and debug your game's code.

                         Game Controls: Take control of your game by moving your player character or activating
                         various in-game functions through the use of buttons. You can also access the menu and
                         restart your game from here.
                         Simulator Toolbar: The Simulator Toolbar equips you with essential controls for your game
                         simulation. You can run the game, pause it, restart it, enable debugging, and manage the
                         game’s display settings.

                         Save Project: Secure your game project by saving it to a file with a name of your choice. This
                         ensures that your progress is preserved.
                         Workspace Toolbar: The workspace toolbar provides tools to undo or redo changes made
                         to your code. It also allows you to zoom in or out to adjust your view of the code within the
                         workspace.
