-Place some sand [[tile|tiles]] to form a small square as the initial base for the [[map]]. You can toggle the "Randomize Rotation" button on the [[Map Editor]] toolbar when placing [[tile|tiles]] or [[object|objects]] to add variety to the placement, or right-click to rotate the pending resource to a specific angle before placing. Then, place some of the road [[tile|tiles]] down the width of the map and scatter several of the "sand with rock" [[tile|tiles]] around as desired. For more details on the usage of the [[Map Editor]], check out the [[Map Editor]] page.

-Add a bunch of cactuses and a few rocks around the sandy parts of the [[map]], then use the "Save" button ({{:wiki:disk.png?nolink|}}) on the [[Map Editor]] toolbar to save the [[map]]. To achieve the appearance of the desert below, I also went into the [[Map Properties]] panel and made a few [[lighting]] adjustments. I chose a dark grey for the [[ambient light]] color and a bright yellow for the [[directional light]] color. Shadows were also enabled under the [[directional light]] section. Don't be afraid to experiment! The lighting can make a lot of difference in the visual style of your [[map]].

-In order to give the appearance of motion when the player is driving around, let's create a simple [[animation]] for the model. Click the "Duplicate Current Frame" button ({{:wiki:duplicate_frame.png?nolink|}}) on the [[animation]] toolbar (located below the 3D view of the [[Voxel Editor]]) four times to create four new frames identical to the original frame. As shown in the four images below, I changed one of the [[voxel|voxels]] in each tire to a lighter color in frames 2 through 5 so the tires will appear to spin. I also made the red brake light at the back of the bike a brighter red in frame 1 so the brake light will appear to come on when the player is stopped.

-The [[Script Editor]] will open your new [[script]], which initially will only contain a "Start" node. In this guide, we will simply add a [[Load Map]] node to the [[script]]. This function will, as its name implies, load a [[map]]. This is all we will need to get the game started. To do this, double-click on [[Load Map]] in the list to add a node for that function into your [[script]]. It will then appear in the visual script graph. Ensure that the "desert" [[map]] is selected in the "Map Name" dropdown. With this function, you can also specify the starting [[tile coordinate]] that the player will start on as well as the direction the player will be initially facing. You can leave these values as is (unless you happened to have placed a cactus on [[coordinate]] (0,0,0), in which case you'll want to specify a different [[tile]] [[coordinate]]).
