Lego Digital Designer

This is a picture of a program called Lego Digital Designer obviously... Unless you didn't read the title. I am once again dead bored... actually, never mind, my dad doesn't want me to say that anymore... Let's look for a loophole. Hmmmmmm... lonely... nope I'm the exact opposite... bored... Perfect! I'm bored! Oh well, I won't say that any more but every time I block a word out like ----- or ***** than the word that goes there is 'bored'. But I'm very unlikely to say that for a long time because it's Thursday and tomorrow is Friday and the day after that is Saturday AKA the best day of the week for my whole entire life. Monday is the worst day of the week for my whole entire life. Sunday is the second worst day of the week for my whole entire life... actually, it's Tuesday and then Sunday. So you're probably getting really bored (I've decided not to block it out because that'll be to much trouble.) so I'll get to the point. Lego Digital Designer is my best friend besides Pivot Stick Figure. It is my best friend because it's very rare nowadays to see my friends on virtual worlds let alone see them at all. There's no point in playing outside when there's no one to play with and there's no point in playing inside when every single thing gets you in trouble. The only thing is the computer. It's the only thing that makes everyone happy and keeps the world from darkness. One of the only times that I don't want to go on the computer is when I actually have a reason not to like playing with a friend or... I hate to admit... going to school. Blogger is my best friend after Lego Digital Designer because you don't have to write about a certain subject like you always do in school which is really bad for your mind because you don't use it to think up your own subject which is usually fifty times as imaginative as teachers which is why famous authors like J.R.R Tolkien actually have exiting books. Because they didn't have any teachers around. And also, Lord of The Rings is much more exiting than boring ancient civilizations and also more 'educational' in my point of view because they're cool because they have action... not facts. And imaginary things... not real things. The day I like social studies is the day a little kid asks you to tell them about ancient Rome instead of a fairy tale. Okay, now let's REALLY get to the point. Lego Digital Designer is this cool program where you get to virtually build Lego's. You can download it at http://ldd.lego.com/download/. After you download and install it, there's a screen with Three main links and three tabs. The tabs give different things to choose from. First there is Factory. Factory is where you can choose any type of brick that LDD has and build whatever you want. (I usually use this.) Mindstorms is where you can use some specific pieces that come with the Mindstorms NXT set to make your own robots. These come with Factory also, but sometimes you can get mixed up. The last one is Creator. Creator doesn't have Mindstorms or a lot of Factory pieces because it's mainly meant for vehicles. Now I'm in an official bad mood just so you know. Okay back to the subject. The three main options are Free Build, Starter Model, and Choose Recent Model. Free build is where you build whatever you want with the tab that you chose. Starter Models are basically unfinished models that you can add onto. Choose recent model is basically working one of your most recent saved models. Okay, now you chose what category and what you want to build and now you actually get to have your fun. There are three things you need to notice right now. One, the Brick Palette. This is where you click on what category brick you want and what kind of brick you want to choose. There are tabs at the top. One lets you choose what kind of brick you want, and one lets you choose a starter model in case you don't want to start over again. There are several options on the top below the two tabs. One is called collapse dividers. If lots of your categories are open and you don't want to close them and take forever since there are so many, click this to automatically close them. One is called hide colors. This is very important to me. If there's one specific brick you're looking for but there's so many bricks that it's near to impossible to find, click on this and all the separate colors of one type of brick will be in one space that shows the type of brick it is. If you put your mouse over it, it will have more of those types of bricks in different colors. The filter bricks by boxes one is really cool. It has a list of lego sets you can choose from. When you click on the one you want, it will show all the pieces that come with that set. Each brick will also have a number in the corner of it showing how many of that piece are in the set. The filter bricks by color is just where you can click on the type of color you want and the brick palette will show all the bricks of that color leaving the others out. The turn off filters button basically takes all the filters off if you want to turn off your filters obviously. I'll start part two of this tomorrow. Bye bye. No really. Bye. ARE YOU STILL THERE!?
