One of the cool things that RPG Maker does is called Auto-Tiles. All those years as a kid drawing silly things in MS Paint are really paying off. Just a bit of time drawing with the water and I've made a small island. You have various tools across the top, such as pencil, square, circle and fill. Just grab a tile over on the palette to the left, and start drawing on the map. The Map Editor is very simple to use, kind of like using a simple paint program. The beginning of a world map, although a very tiny one. When you first make your project, you are greeted with this nice green expanse. It's there when you open the program, and it's there when you close it down. The first thing everyone sees when they first open RPG Maker is the map editor.
