!ELayout Editor Help
With the Layout Editor function you can create your own starting layouts
or modify any of the ones that come with the game. All you have to do
is place tiles where you wish on the playing board. The editor starts
with the layout you were last playing with.

!DHow To Place Tiles
The editor really has only two basic functions: placing a tile and removing
a tile. To place a tile, move the cursor to the position you want and click
the left mouse button. A tile will be placed at the lowest possible level.
To remove a tile move the cursor directly above the tile and click the
right mouse button. Because of the 3-D effect used by the game you must be
careful when positioning the mouse to be sure you select exactly the tile
you want.

!FLimitations
Layouts do not have to contain 144 tiles like most of the standard ones
do. However, the number of tiles does have to be a multiple of 4 to allow
for the proper number of tile pairs to be placed. The only other limitation
is on the rightmost column where only one level is allowed. The rest of the
board can have up to five levels of tiles.

!LFile Menu
This menu lets you save your work, load a different layout file or
start over with a blank board.

!LPlay Menu
Select this to immediately play the layout you have been editing. The
editor will exit back to the game with the new layout in use.
5
!LQuit Menu
Use this to quit the layout editor and return to the game using the
previously loaded layout. If you have previously used the Play Menu
there may no longer be a previous layout to return to; you'll get a
warning and the default layout will load.
