Hit Enter to accept your column
Click the Textures tab and select a texture for your column and hit enter.

Now we can run it and take a look at what we made. We have already placed our playersetup and playerstart functions so all you have to do is hit the Compile button

Here is your character in the game. Notice the room is larger and you can see the column.

How did I get out of first person view so I can see the character walk around? You do that with the F2 Button. And the F1 Button gets you back in first person view.

Your mouse fires your shotgun and spacebar is jump. the Tab button will hide the radar and health bar at the top of the screen.
Can you see how easy it is going to be to make a game? TV Free Games

Before you continue with this tutorial on how to make a video game I recommend you go back into the workspace and tinker around with the size of the room, add another column and change the textures. You want to get real good at this. And practice is the only way to do it.

Remember that when you are making a video game you save often and you can’t ruin anything. The worse that can happen at this stage of the game is that you start a new level.

Texturing surfaces of objects TV Free Online Games Flash
Now we are going to apply textures to the different sides of our column. This shows us the skill of focusing down Every object you make and or place in your game is made up of a lot of different surfaces. In the game development software these surfaces are called faces. . You saw that your room has faces like the walls, floor and ceiling. The column also has faces and we are going to apply different textures to these different surfaces.
Click the Modify Brushes and Faces button
Now click on your column and all the edges turn green.

Hit the Pagedown button on your keyboard and all the edges turn pinkish purple in color. Now you can click on any of the surfaces and it will be highlighted then you can apply a texture just to that surface. If you want to quickly move through the surfaces you can use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard.

After you are done applying the textures you hit the pagedown button and you return out of face edit mode.

This skill of quickly and easily editing the different faces of any object is very valuable and you should practice this. Add some more objects to your room and edit their faces. Remember that there are tops and bottoms to things too, not just sides. The column you put in your game, and you see in my pictures is actually hollow so there are faces on the inside of the column and the outside of the column. If your player is not going to be able to see the inside of the column you can just leave them as the default texture.

Adding a second room and cutting a doorway
Now making a video game is more than just one room. So let’s add a second room and then cut a doorway between the two rooms. This is pretty easy and you will get good at it. And of course you can use your new cutting skills to cut away all kinds of stuff like wells, windows and more.

Hit the camera button on the tool bar.
Now in the top view pane right click with the mouse, hold the right click and slowly drag down. You will pan out of the room. Get it to look something like this. You have not

changed the size of the room, you have only zoomed out to see more workspace. Now we have space to add another room to your game.

Just like the way you created your first room lets add another room. Select the Templates tab then press the cube stock button. And a blue room appear in your workspace. Move it to a nice location and press the Add current item to world button. That button is located on the left of the workspace below the panel you just used for templates.
Here is what I made. Now I recommend you do this then make the second room larger by using the sizing skills we learned.

Here is a review of how to resize a room:
1. Press the Modify Brushes and Faces button (It’s an arrow)
2.Click on the new room so it turns light blue (It is now selected)
3. Click the Scale Brush button – its the funny shaped square. Rolling over the buttons on the menu bar will show a tool tip. Look for the scale brush button.
4. Simply left click and drag the room sides to new proportions.
