Build with Chrome offers a wide variety of virtual Lego Bricks that users can choose from. The colors of the bricks can be changed also in water hue a users wants to. Technically, it is just like building something out of your real Lego but with unlimited bricks, CNET reports.
Upon entry to the virtual Lego playground, users will be offered to "Explore All Builds," "Start Build," and "Build Academy." Those who are already good at making something out of the bricks can start right away, but those who are just beginners, can take the tutorial first.
In the "Build Academy" section of the Web site, users are given a series of challenges that will guide them to be a master builder.
Whereas in the "Explore All Builds" section, through the Google Map interface, users can explore different kinds of Lego buildings made by different Google+ users around the globe.
Building starts with the basic, and that is with learning how to twist and turn your baseplate, zoom in and zoom out, and shift views. Users will also be taught on how to maneuver and modify the shape and colors of the bricks.
