==Building (packaging VPK)==
===Making levels===
On Linux, enter the flowit-vita directory and execute ./build.sh (this requires vita-mksfoex from VitaSDK).
New levels can be created using the online editor at https://flowit.bytehamster.com and contributed upstream.  


The eboot.bin file is compiled from Lua Player Plus. To build that for yourself as well, note that you need a version of Lua Player Plus recent enough to include text width and height detection (added in this commit).
Alternatively, you can create levels and append the resulting XML to the level packs in assets/levels/.
