Using Paths in Kodu

Step 1

Open a new world

Step 2

Create a path by clicking the path tool.

Then left click on the screen, drag you mouse to another point and then left click again.

Continue doing this until you have a complete path; make sure you double click on the starting point to complete the path, like the picture below:

Step 3

Left Click the first time.

Drag the mouse to here and left click again.

Double clicking here tells Kodu your path is finished.

You must pick a colour for your path so that when you program the WHEN/DO for the path the character/object knows which path to follow.

-move your mouse over the path and the colours will show at the top.

-Use the left and right arrows to pick a colour.

Step 4

Add a character that will follow the path. It’s up to you which you choose.

Step 5

Now you need to program the character to follow the path.

Right click the character and select program.

Step 6

This is what your WHEN/DO programming blocks should look like:

REMEMBER: The colour block should match the colour you chose for your path, so if you didn’t make an orange path don’t use the orange block.
