What to study

Where the Props tab furnishes, the Gadgets tab populates, and it speaks in symbols. Monsters are skull pictograms in three tile sizes, loot is a chest or a question-marked bag, a trap is one glyph: an adventure is stocked by placing abstractions on a grid, and the creatures themselves are a later decision. Zoomed out, the editor reads as a floor plan of intent, four side rooms around a hall, torches in rows, loot bags waiting, with the minimap compressing the same plan to a pictogram. The frame also proves the editor's feedback is systemic, not per-tool: the gadgets prompt carries the identical red refusal line as the props prompt. Frame at about 1:06 in the Dungeon Maker Trailer (Steam; scene-change extraction).

Screen inventory

• the GADGETS palette is icon-first: OPENINGS as two door glyphs (Double Door 6x1, Hidden Door 6x1 with an 'S'), ENCOUNTER as three skull tiles (Monster L 2x2, Monster M 1x1, Monster Multi M 2x2), LOOT as Chest and Virtual Loot, both 1x1, and TRAPS as a single bear-trap glyph, 2x2
• the canvas shows a complete small dungeon at once, a central hall ringed by four side rooms, two of them torch-lit with yellow flame markers in rows, one holding Virtual Loot bags, and the selected room is outlined in white while the rest stay at full brightness
• the red refusal appears again in gadget form, 'The gadget is outside the bounds of this room', with a door gadget glowing red in the central hall's right wall: the same one-card feedback the Props tab uses
• encounters are placed as abstract markers, not models: skull icons sized by footprint, so a room's danger is budgeted in tiles (2x2 for a large monster, 2x2 for a group of four small skulls) before any creature is chosen
• the top-right minimap reduces the whole layout to a beige pictogram labelled 'Pitfall Aftermath'; UNDO (9), SAVE, SETTINGS and PLAYTEST keep their places from every other editor view
