Digging into the pixels in my text editor to make a cosy home for notes about pixel art-powered game Terraria along with links to Terraria videos from the HyperTextHero Twitch livestream: 1

For a more comfortable user interface, when in-game click on Settings on the bottom-right and increase Zoom and UI Scale.

Hold Left Ctrl to see a preview of placement. Cut with axe, dig with pick, etc.

Press Esc to open inventory and build a workbench by right-clicking on its icon in the crafting menu on the left of the screen. When near the workbench other items appear in the crafting menu. For example, build many arrows by right-clicking on their icons continuously, then left-click on the inventory slots on the top of the screen to place them in your inventory.

Cut some trees and build a house (walls, roof, door) as soon as you can for protection from enemies, especially zombies and other abominations that come in the night. Build by dragging the wood to the top inventory bar, then press the number corresponding to the wood and left-click on the screen to build. Don’t worry, you can plant more trees.

Build background walls to complete a house (they look like a brown 4-block square).

If you add a table and chairs an NPC will move in who you can give you tips (right-click on the NPC, select Crafting, drag an item from your inventory to the Place a material here slot to see what you can build with it.)

Thanks UK_Oxide for many of these tips, and to Mike P for joining me in my first coop Terraria game!
