Level Editors

dejai · Post by **dejai** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:21 am

Could anyone give me a nudge in the right direction, where to find some information on making a basic level editor for 2d platforms. Thanks. I would prefer C++ fairly standard code as I use GCC (specifically G++ within the GNU Compiler Collection) to compile all my projects and Linux 2.6.24-19-generic(<-why did I bother including that :/).

Check out the LazyFoo Tutorials and Articles for game related programming in C++ and SDL. Here's a link for the Map Editor Article:

Good Luck!

P.S. - If any of this code is ahead of you, be sure to go back as far as necessary and read those tutorials first

Well it would help to know which language, I havn't looked at any c++ ones personally, but I found a decent blitz one soooo if that is what your interested in just say so...

ummm.... that signature scars me. It doesn't make sense, normally that would be a plus but in this case it is giberrish not random. And it takes up a lotta space, in case you don't know, that gets annoying...

well have a nice day and may the force be with your mom...

As you can tell, I haven't gotten around to restoring any emoticons either.

If they are, don't you think we should give him the benefit of the doubt?

In reply to Resatti I was not looking for a level editor, I was looking for frameworks for level editors and how they handle the reading and writing to files and how this in turn is read in by the game engine to produce a game / map. I am collecting some resources and information about how to do this and so far I think I could build a solid, stable but basic level editor with a framework somewhat like that of the IrrWizard and NUSoftware frameworks however there would be a lot of work involved. I am interested in game theory and any theory on the issue of game development more specific to the technical arena as opposed to the artistic. I congratulate the Elysian Shadow team on there success with there level editor it seems to have a lot of really great features and seems to be working in a fairly stable order much to the disagreement of Peter but I could only take a note from the theory of the editor as I made a choice to respect my freedoms and only use open and free software.

Another question I would throw out there is, is Lusikka Mages editor open source? I respect her decision either way and I am only asking this question becauuse Resatti's reply seemed to point to this.

Yes, MusuGo is open source, you can download it from her deviant art: http://moosader.deviantart.com/
