Playground
The background on the main page of TextureTown is a 3D render of the TextureTown's “playroom”, which is actually a replica of the Snake Room, (which is Movie 1), Let's go try out the Playroom. The playroom link is under the TextTown Logo.
We will be met with Ozwomp, and Nombeg, in greyscale.
We can move the camera by dragging the mouse.
If we drag and dropped a file onto the playroom, we can see that the specific object gets applied with the picture we dropped.
