Level Editor Released!
Posted 20th Apr 09, by caccolothemeaning  
I've decided to release the beta version of the DOT Editor.

It is in beta just because all the tiles haven't been designed yet and because the Mighty Sketchy seems to have something in particular in mind I really don't want to miss!

Keep in touch mates!

I am working on it, don't worry.
It's just been really sunny, so I'm at the beach most of the time.

Would it be a problem if I made the level editor mouse-controlled? I know it's not very retro, but it would be easier to make and use.
Otherwise it's going to need buttons to select tile, start/stop editing tile, select/add/delete animation frame, etc...

Couple of small improvements you could make to your current level editor:
* The cursor should keep moving if you hold down an arrow key.
* If you use the file object, you can make it so the "custom levels" folder is opened by default when you save/load a level.

No worries mate, give your brain the freedom it deserves! I have faith!

Yeah thought so about the continous cursor but initially the level editor was intended to be used by me only so...

I'll fix that and I'll fix also the default opening folder on save array.

Thanks
