All the menu buttons have been split into simple and advanced categories. This is so that new people to the game are not overloaded with buttons to press and can easily use the game without wondering where to go next.

The Config File is located in the flipper folder under the 'game/data' directory. There is also a shortcut in the flipper group folder under the windows start button as well. To enable the editor, set the simplemenu key to zero in the Config File.

Editor Menu
 Editor Menu

The editor was designed to be used by a 2 button mouse and minimal keyboard input. All screen tile transition functions work 200% faster while the editor is active to speed up creation / testing of levels.

There are two modes to the editor and this determines what functions each mouse button does. The mode is displayed / selected in the top left hand corner of the screen.
