This is a level editor made by Schmendrick Schmuck to allow on-the-go level editing and testing.

User can create levels through a system of tiles, which then puts them collisions for the character to know which parts are solid and no. The levels are fully customizable, they can change the size. The background color and horn save and then load levels.

Features

  • Easy-to-use level editor with stylus controls
  • Simple but efficient UI
  • Generic level data format to be used in any game engine
  • Show or hide grid, tile IDs or complete layers
  • Level saving/loading to/from sd
  • Up to 5 layers (last layer reserved for collision map data)
  • Dynamic layer resizing (when possible, resizing will keep your level data in place)

  • Built-in customizable playtest featuring Mario
