Click “Edit blockset” in the block menu or press B to bring up a menu for editing the blockset.

While you can edit any block to any shape, note that making the first block type (which makes up the underground volume in the default world) a non-cubical shape will likely be fatal to your frame rate.

By holding down the selection key you can drag out a selection box; operations on the selection can be performed using the chip which appears at its top left. The available operations are not very extensive at the moment.

Compatibility & Bugs

Not compatible with Safari 5.1 due to lack of full ECMAScript 5 support.

On an older MacBook Pro with 10.7 “Lion”, the terrain may be entirely white and the game may crash (exiting the browser in Firefox, a permanently gray screen in Chrome). In general, Cubes has not been tested across a broad range of graphics hardware and may have missing graphics, such as the terrain or sky being entirely white.

Editing the circuit behaviors can cause the game to enter inconsistent states. Circular connections in circuits result in indeterminate behavior.
