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.

Quick Reference
For better explanations see the user guide, but I've found it helpful to keep this quick reference list.

exit | location | Move player to another place. |
graphic | tile | Sets event's graphic. |
is-player | tag | Tells game where to start the player. Not sure if it's useful later. |
one-time | tag | Run event only once. |

Some examples of JavaScript you can insert. See the scripting guide for more information.
