I’m new to all of this and I’m attempting to use play canvas to learn. So far my biggest problem is the camera; not the in game one, but the one used for editing. every time I add an asset, I get stuck staring at it and I can’t do anything else. Another issue is my inability to move around in editor so I can only work with a small area. Do you guys have any advice?
Hi @Daemonfire, what do you mean by “stuck” and “inability to move”?
In Editor you can orbit by holding left mouse button in viewport, focus orbiting on object by using “F” key.
To simply fly around, use WASD keys on keyboard, and hold right mouse button for looking around.
Hi everyone,
My name is Hung. I’m a programmer student. I have a background in Unity Development but have always wanted to do more web development and HTML5 games. I’m hoping to learn a lot from the PlayCanvas Community, and help others if I can…Cheers.
I actually didn’t know about those commands. It was probably in the tutorial and I missed it. Thank you for your help Max
You can access some useful panels and links from top left corner button > help.
Controls are there too.

Hi guys. My name is Vasyl. I started to work as a backend web programmer more than 5 years ago. But shifted to the fronted later. I am working on big projects with rich UI using Ext Js or Backbone.Marionette for 3 years. Playcanvas is interesting for me because it seems really easy to drop in and contribute because of JS as a coding language, HTML environment which may be used for Game UI and opened sources.
I wanted to create games a long time ago and now seems I have a possibility to try it. My wife is a beginner 3D Artist so we are going to have a fun creating game prototypes with Playcanvas 
I think Playcanvas is the best place to start for beginners with JS and HTML background.

@vasyl, thank you for kind words about PlayCanvas! Hope you will enjoy using it. Feel free to share, devlog and ask question in our community.
Just as funny note, previous Editor (called Designer) was made with heavy use of ExtJs, and it was nightmare to manage. So we’ve decided last year, to start working on our own, proprietary solution for UI and data-binding, and came up with what Editor is now. Which outperformed all of our expectations in many ways.

My name is Kyle, I’m in a game development class along with many of the recent replies. We’re currently learning Javascript and HTML, and delving a little in the world of Playcanvas. I hope to learn more about the three in the future, and eventually move on to more advanced/common programming languages and game engines, like C++/C#, Unreal, and Unity.

Hi
My names Ricky or Ricky Bobby i am a student in a computer game development class
Hello!! I am Dylan (A.K.A. Piggah Bro on social media and youtube), I’m a person that likes to learn and help other. I have been programming since my 7th grade year. Everyday since then I’ve been learning more and more code trying to advance my knowlege as much as I can. In my free time I’m always on the computer working on my projects, one of my biggest projects so far is my website that I’ve just created a redirect site that brings you to a mobile friendly version if your on a mobile device. I currently know JavaScript, Lua, HTML, CSS, some Batch (I use to know it quite well), and I use to create bukkit severs before they closed down, I possibly did more than that but I don’t remember… I try to advance myself as much as I can as you can possibly tell. Eventually I want to learn the C language but for know I want to do something with my current knowlegde. I am happy to find PlayCanvas and this community to help me create the games I want and be able to help out others when I can. In a different community I use to help peope all the time and now I’m willing to spend my time when I can to help this community.
