FAQ:
Q: "How do block origins work?"
A: The origin point on a block acts as the center in which it rotates around. This is handy to know, as all upright blocks have their origins in the top left corner. This allows you to recognize when a block is rotated.

Q: "What's that arrow on the origin points?"
A: That arrow is the direction you are plugged into in relation to the block's rotation. For example, if you are plugged in on the left, the arrow will point to the right on an upright block, indicating the forward direction. This acts as a useful reference when figuring out how to scale the blocks when they are rotated.

Q: "My blocks won't scale in the direction I'm pressing!"
A: This means that a wall, pipe, or other scale block is blocking your scaling from performing. Remember that all blocks scale simultaneously, so if one block doesn't scale, the rest won't either.

Q: "Who's that little guy?"
A: That's Carl. He's pretty nifty.
