User guide

Built-in level editor

If you have mastered the game or would like to express your creative skills, you can become a designer and use the GNU Robbo Designer/level editor to create new or modify existing challenges and immediately test your ideas in the game. If you want to share new level packs, contact the Authors. Every level creator is credited with his/her name during a level game play.

Modified level packs can be found in ux0:/data/gnurobbo/levels (PS Vita).

If you want to start designing a level from scratch, MyLevels pack is a good starting point.

For details of using level editor please read "Level Designer" section of README file.
