Level Editor for DS : 0.1

Nous y voilà enfin: mon éditeur de niveaux disponible au téléchargement, avec les bugs corrigés, même si l’interface reste assez expérimentale. Avec en prime deux tilesets Creative Common pour vos petits tests: “generic.spr” par Surt (CC-BY-SA) et “frogatto-dirt.spr” (CC0) par Guido Bos. Amusez-vous bien, les tifous: la version française du tutoriel est en construction sur le fil “dev-fr”.

Huzzah! At last, you’ve got it. My long-delayed Level Editor for Nintendo DS (LEDS) is at last available for download with some sample tilesets to toy with ^_^. Thanks fly to Surt and Guido Bos for releasing their game art under creative-common license on OpenGameArt.

The software is still a bit rough on the angles, so make sure you’ve got the tutorial page displayed on some screen when you’ll use it for the first time(s)…
and now …
Go create!

Features that I still wish to see appearing in a future release (check back this post for UI mock-up):

• [hint] provide a way to change “type of tile” when editing the meta-layer, without requiring on-map display. (we have the whole ABXY buttons disabled in that mode, right ?)
• flipped tiles that also work in “copy” mode
• area manipulation (overlays?)
• map size edition (crop, extend)
• map sketching (zoomed-out drawing)
• map radar widget
• multi-palette support on the BG layer (needs SEDS coordination)
• [done] more robust monster edition mode.
• wizard for .cmd file generation
• use the ARGV protocol to quick-load a map from runMe *at a specific position*.
