child's first name

device code — 4–6 digits; once a family is enrolled, this ⚙ asks for it (or the weekly key)

worlds

tap done to mark a world complete or not — the worlds mark themselves when a session ends; this is the override. open jumps there now, sealed or not.

the check-in

from world two on, the first flight to a world goes through the grief thermometers (Handout 1.3, the rating flight) — the ship rates the week, then flies on. in the game = the ship does it; on paper = you do it, and the ship flies straight there.

the beginning

the first visit opens with the world's birth — a wordless minute you speak over. It pauses for the name if none is set (this dot breathes; type it, close this, and the name rises). Each beat runs on its own; a tap on the world goes on to the next one — your pace. Roughly, beat by beat:

the dark — “This is space. It's very dark. Nothing's here yet.”
a light comes in from the right and circles the dark world once — “Except that. That's a ship. Actually — that's your ship.”
it comes in from the east and touches down; the ground is born under it and welcome to your world rises at the top — “Wherever your ship lands, there's light. That's the start of your world.”
the name — “It needs to know whose it is.”
the worlds light along the arc — “Those are the places you'll go — one at a time. That one's first.”
a mote comes down from the first — “Every place you go, you bring some light back, and your world grows. And you won't come back alone.”
welcome — the top line fades and three small cards come up (welcome, this is your home world · as you visit other worlds, your world will grow and change · be sure to check back to find new friends); the child turns them (next ›), and the third holds the one bright button. Read along; it waits at their pace
get started at world one — “Shall we go?”

play the opening again

the opening is the film before the beginning (intro.html, the front door for a family that has never been home): the one light, the ray that swoops out and eats it, the stream up into the words, get started — which lands back here.
