Your first 15 minutes with Bricklayer

This is the shortest path from "I just installed it" to "I pressed Play and something I asked for is in my game." No coding experience needed.

1. Make a new game (2 minutes)

1. Open Bricklayer Editor and click Make a new Roblox game on the Welcome screen.
2. Pick a starter: Blank world, Obby, Tycoon, or Simulator. Not sure? Pick Obby. More on choosing.

Bricklayer creates a local project, sets up its Studio plugin, and guides you into Roblox Studio.

2. Connect Studio (3 minutes)

1. When Studio opens, click Allow on any permission prompt from the Bricklayer plugin. What these prompts mean.
2. Confirm the game shown is the one you meant to use.
3. Wait for Bricklayer's status to show your place name and the number of scripts in sync.

3. Choose an AI (3 minutes)

Pick Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or Bricklayer chat (which uses an OpenRouter key). If you do not pay for any AI, Bricklayer chat with a free OpenRouter key is the fastest start. Which AI should I use?

4. Ask for a plan, not code (2 minutes)

Paste this into the AI chat:

Make a lava obby with checkpoints, collectible coins, moving platforms, and a finish portal. Show me the plan before making changes.

Read the plan. If something is off, say so in plain words: "Skip the coins for now" or "Make it shorter, five stages."

5. Approve, then play (5 minutes)

1. When the AI proposes file changes, you see a before-and-after diff. Approve the ones you want.
2. Press Play in Roblox Studio and try it.
3. Do not like something? Use Undo in Studio, or reject and revert the change in Bricklayer. How undo works.

What to do next

• Turn on Studio's extra powers so your AI can playtest and read errors itself.
• Learn the prompting habits that save the most time.
• Build a little, test a little, repeat.
