===Level I: A single script file===
This is the quickest and easiest way to prepare a module for MP. It will lack any color keys or text, other than a banner at the top. It will be a single molecular scene, spinning, without any transitions or animation.


An MP module at Level I consists of three items that will be submitted to [[http://molecularplayground.org MP]].

There are two ways to prepare the script file.
* By hand. This requires familiarity with the [[http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/ Jmol Command Scripting Language]]. No instructions are provided here for this method.
* In Proteopedia, using its [[SAT|Molecular Scene Authoring Tool]]. You don't need to be familiar with Jmol command scripting language. You save the "state script" from Jmol in Proteopedia. Instructions are provided.
