    [What you need to be able to make blocks]

    First of all, you need a drawing application, usually something like paint is already present, which will do fine. Secondly, to convert these pictures into a sprite file, you will need [Spritebuilder](http://www.gamewaredevelopment.co.uk/cdn/cdn_more.php?CDN_article_id=35).

    [A few guidelines]

    To be able to be stacked, your block needs 2 pixels on the right bottom - and left side (fig. 1a). Or 2 pixels in the middle (fig. 1b), if the block is an odd number pixels in width, it has to be three pixels (fig. 1c).

    To be able to stack other blocks on your block, it will need 2 pixels at the top, anywhere (fig. 1b).

    To preview the shape of your block, you will need a preview icon. This has to be a 45 by 45 pixel picture, with a smaller version of your block in the middle. In the sprite file, the icon has to be placed in front of the actual block(fig. 2).

    To be able to be coloured, your block has to be a gray tint, the background has to be black.

    [How to import or remove a blockset]

    To import a blockset, copy your sprite file to the ..\Docking Station\Images folder, and press the green button the Creoctuid. Enter the name of the sprite file, without extension (if the sprite file is called vbl-stan.c16, enter vbl-stan). Then you are prompt with a box asking how many blocks are in that sprite file. If you have 2 pictures in that sprite file (one preview, and one actual block), you have to enter 1.

    To remove a blockset from the Creoctuid, press the red button, and enter the sprite file's name as above.
