# First steps

Whether you're exploring the open world or one of the fantastic spaces within the Coderblock ecosystem, you'll be embodying an [avatar](/coderblock-world/user-experiences/photorealistic-avatar-coderblock-studio-x-ready-player-me.md) and will be able to explore the virtual world extensively! Each avatar comes with a set of pre-defined animations such as running, jumping, waving, dancing, swimming and more to help you navigate the virtual world.

Here are some simple actions you can perform using the keyboard controls:

* Move with the **W-A-S-D** keys (forward, left, backward, right). 
* Jump with the **spacebar** (you can press it up to three times in a row for a triple jump!). 
* Crouch by pressing **C**. If you do this while swimming, you'll dive underwater. 
* Press **Tab** to move at a slower pace, a cross between walking and running. 
* Hold down **Shift** to run at maximum speed, and if you do this while swimming, you'll start swimming quickly. 
* Press **M** to activate and view the map. 
* Press **V** to toggle between first and third person view. 
* Press **K** to switch to photo mode, perfect for taking screenshots without the HUD. 
* Press **H** to open a window with a summary of the most important commands. These commands will help you explore the virtual world of Coderblock in an intuitive and interactive way!
* Finally, press the **ESC** key to access the [Menu](/coderblock-world/user-experiences/menu.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-en.coderblock.com/coderblock-world/user-experiences/first-steps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
