This is the zoomlevel for the camera used in buildarea.
Slide to the right to zoom in, slide to the left to zoom out.



Modes




This is the modes you can be in while creating maps.

Build vs Play.
When you have Build selected you can add objects in the buildArea by rightclicking in it. You can also reset the map. If you rightclick on a welcomeplanet(green) you can select that planet to shoot from.
When play mode is selected you are basicly playing the same game as on the phone. Left click on the planet with the blue dot(the rocket) and drag the mouse. You will see the whole projected path for that shot. Releasing the button will make the rocket go off in that path.

Easy, normal and hard
These are the same levels of play that you can find in the phone game. Switch between these to try how hard it is to play on hard or how easy it is.

Messages



This area shows messages from the program. Shows if a map loaded ok etc.
