Placing the avatar moves it; the room it is in is where the game starts. A sprite can only be in one place in the whole game, so placing it again moves it. Items and tiles can be placed as often as you like.

Pick the color palette this room uses. Palettes are edited in the colors window.
tune tab #
Pick the background music that plays in this room, or none. Tunes are made in the tune window.
avatar tab #
Pick a different drawing for the avatar while it is in this room, for example a swimming avatar in a water room.
