What is a Map?

A map in RPG Maker is used to create a location in your game’s world. It is arranged as a collection of game tiles.

What are Tiles?

A map is made of 32x32 pixel tiles. These tiles can be of different types and are used to create a visual representation of a location. Each tile is made to look like a particular feature that a location might have. For e.g. grass, a door, a wall, water, etc. The tiles are found in the Tile Palette on the left side of the screen in the project editor. There are tabs A, B, C, and R. Each tab of tiles consist of a different type of tiles.
