General Tips
If you see something you like in another game you can download it and import that HTML file into the Bipsi editor to learn how it was done. The trick is that you need to download only the game part; if it's on Itch this will be in a frame. If you use Firefox you can:
- Right-click on the game and select
- Go to the 'This Frame' option
- Select 'Save Frame As...'
Keyboard Shortcuts
- The arrow keys will move your selection, indicated by a thick, white outline.
- Q, W, E, R, T selects tabs in order.
- Draw Room tab: Holding Alt will use eyedropper/pick tile.
