| Making a Flags Game |
A Flag is a Flag Pole which starts with a flag in it.
A Flag Pole where flags start, such as the Neutral flags or Team Flags
Creating a Flag
To create a flag simply click on the Flag Tool button and select the team colour you want. Simply click to place it on the map.
Creating a Flag Pole
To create a Flag Pole first you must select the team who will be capturing the flag. Do this by clicking on the Flag Pole Tool button then selecting the colour from the popup which appears.
Note: Although the Neutral flag pole is displayed in this popup you cannot create empty Neutral Flag Poles
Next choose the teams flag you want the pole to hold, do this by selecting the team from the bottom right corner. (below)
For example if you wanted to make a Flag Pole for the Green Team to keep the Red Teams flag in, select the Green option from the Flag Pole Tool button and Red from in the bottom right.
and you will end up with this:
Note: Make sure you have the right number of flags to flag poles else no-one will be able to win the game.
Note: When u lay a flag the game style will be automatically set to Flags, if you change this option (see Game type & options)

| Animated Tiles |
The animated tiles are displayed on the right hand side of the screen.
This is how the animated tiles are shown. The animation starts from the far left hand side and the tile changes into each tile moving right each time.
In one cycle the tile will change roughly 7 times, You can set the Offset of the tile just below where all the tiles are displayed. The Offset of an animation is the image it displays when the map loads. For example offset 0 and offset 8 are the same image if the tile has 7 different images.
Note: The best way to understand Animations is to play around and find out for yourself.

| Warps |
To make a warp you must use an Animated Warp tile. These are:
9E - Toilet bowl tile
F6 - Rough light grey tile
F7 - Grass tile
F8 - Rough dark grey tile
F9 - Jigsaw tile
FA - Smooth dark grey tile
You must use one of these tiles as the actual warp tile.
When you have decided where you want to warp to and from, and selected the tile you want to use, you must set the animation offset.The animation offset is a 2 digit code which tells the map what that tile does.
I have written a few descriptions of how these work so if you don't understand one of them forget that one and look at the next.
Technical description
The first number is the starting tiles code and the second number is the destination code.
Phone number description
The first number is your own phone number and the second number is the phone number of the tile you are calling or warping to.
Short and sweet
You are the first number, you go to the second number.
Example:
If you placed to tiles, one with offset of "12" and the other with offset of "21". in the game if someone went onto either of them they would be warped to the other. and if the went onto the other they would be warped back.
12----------------------------------------21
Another Example:
If you had 3 tiles, one was 12, another was 23 and the third was 31, you would get a triangle. if you go onto tile 1, you warp 2, go onto tile 2 you warp to 3, and go onto tile 3 you warp back to 1.
12--------------------------23--------------------------32

| Powerups |
There are 8 Powerup tiles, they are these ones in the top right of your tiles.
Numbers 36, 37, 38, 39, 76, 77, 78 and 79.
Simply place these tiles anywhere on the map and they will generate powerups. Weapons which aren't available during a game because they have been disabled will not generate from a powerup tile.
Note: You can set the maximum number of powerups available at any time in the Information box. (see Game type & options).
