I was using spiders in the editor, and often had trouble remembering where I put them. I worked around the problem by dragging out a room full of spiders (without letting go of the mouse button), and seeing where the red spots were.

All I'm saying is that it might be easier to have an outline or something on the spiders in the editor.

This is to discourage players from designing too many rooms with spiders.

No, just kidding. That's a good idea. And it sounds like you're designing some wicked dungeons.

In all honesty, there's not a whole lot you can do with Spiders. I've decided I'm only going to make 1 or 2 levels (out of about 20 I plan) with Spiders in them. I like to use them as a "Suprise! While you were busy moving your mimic, one spider sneaked up from behind" kinda thing.

Everyone should be careful about underestimating me. I'm vicious and cruel! I wish I could export so I could show you all!

I've got one room I made just for fun...

There's an easy workaround for this - just use another color scheme (spiders are very easy to see on the green/brown floors of "voids"). Then change to the light blue tiles when you're done. You'll have to see which color tiles is equivalent to the blue ones and which to the white, but that should take all of 5 seconds.
