## Recommended Map Layout
 
- it's best to create just a single tile with the property `collides` set to
 
`true`, and only use it in a single layer "collisions"
 
- you can use group layer to collect similar layers (e.g. all layers defining
 
entries or exits, all layers opening websites, etc.). This leaves your map's
 
behaviour unchanged, but makes working with (potentially large) maps with the
 
Tiled editor much easier

- place jitsis so that people can walk around them
- interactive elements and especially video conferences should be placed and
 
designed to be clearly recognisable even before walking in; also be sure to
 
leave sufficient space around them if people want to just walk past them
 
- jitsis and websites should only open after pressing the spacebar (i.e. set
 
`jitsiTrigger` / `openWebsiteTrigger` where appropriate)
