Draw
How does drawing work in ScribbleBuild?
You draw an object, and it becomes a real object in the world. That one idea is the whole game: the pencil is how you make everything else.
A drawing is not a picture of the thing. It is the thing.
In most games, drawing is decoration. You paint a skin, or you sketch on a wall. In ScribbleBuild the drawing is the object. You draw a wheel and you have a wheel. You draw a bridge and there is a bridge.
That changes what building feels like. You are not searching a menu for the part that is closest to what you had in mind. You draw what you had in mind.
From pencil to object

A ramp, a wall, a handle, a boat. The job tells you what to draw.
You draw it
Your drawing is the design. It does not have to be neat.
It becomes a real object in the world
Now it is a thing you and your friends can build with.
