Using
the Mahjong Palace Editor
Mahjong
Palace can be used in edit mode to create or edit tile layouts.
Choose "Start Editor" from the Editor menu to enter edit mode.
A blank editor layout will appear.

Click
on one of the target circles to place a tile on the current level.
The new tile will become the currently selected tile. You can
then move the selected tile horizontally and vertically by using
the ARROW keys. You can only place or select tiles on the current
level. You can change the current level by using the level buttons
in the toolbar. You can also select which levels are visible in
the editor by using the visibility buttons in the toolbar.
Layouts
should always be balanced. This means that there should always
be an even number of tiles on each level. This insures that a
winnable game can always be arranged.
New
layouts should be saved in the Mahjong Palace Layouts folder.
Doing so will make them available for preview in the Layout Browser
window.
Previously
created layouts can also be modified using the layout editor.
However, doing so will reset the rankings and statistics for the
layout.
