What Looks is for

Looks changes speech, visibility, size, opacity, layers and visual properties without making you write DOM or CSS code.

The built-in Looks category starts with 11 core block shapes and is expanded by the larger generated catalog, so you can learn a small vocabulary before exploring specialized variants.

Core blocks you will see

These names come from the current RC Blocks Studio catalog. Start with the first two or three and ignore the rest until your project needs them.

Try this tiny recipe

Build the smallest possible experiment so you can see what this category changes.

1

Make the sprite say a short message.

2

Change size or opacity so the result is obvious.

3

Use Show/Hide for simple scene changes.

How it becomes a real game

When the project is materialized, supported Looks opcodes are compiled into the generated browser runtime rather than remaining visual-only editor decorations.

That means the same block idea can affect the full RC project when you Save and Run project.
