A Camera is a special tool for taking pictures of a world.

Appearance

In a Blockhead's inventory, a camera is a brown, box-like oblong with a dark cylinder at the center representing a lens.

Creating

A Blockhead can create a camera at a craft bench using one (1) wood and one (1) glass.

Using

To take a picture, a Blockhead must have a camera in its inventory. Selecting the camera will cause a "Take Picture" button appear over the blockhead. Tapping that button will put the game into picture-taking mode.

In picture-taking mode, most user interface features disappear, leaving the world display, a pair of buttons, and some text across the top describing how to set up the picture. The view can be scrolled around and/or zoomed in and out until the desired picture is set up. Tapping the larger "camera" button saves a picture of the current display (without the buttons or text) to the device's photo storage. Tapping the smaller "Cancel" button takes the game out of picture-taking mode.

One feature of picture-taking mode is that time "stops." Animals don't move and the sky doesn't progress.

Pictures taken with a camera instead of a screen capture do not include any user interface buttons, icons, menus, or windows. They can also be adjusted to a wider range of zoom levels, not just the three standard display levels, as well as being able to zoom in farther. They seem to have the same maximum zoom out.

Cameras do not wear out.
