[AS2] How do you create games with Level Editors?

[tim281080]

Hi there,

Ive been developing games for a while now and would love to know how to make a game that has its own level editor like in Ball Revamped 5 (http://armorgames.com/play/38/ball-revamped-5-synergy). One that not only creates a code for users to share but also, you can submit your level and then view and load the latest submited levels right there from the flashmovie itself.

Does anyone know anything about starting to create level editors, i know it has something to do with arrays and tile based games.

Use LoadVars to send and load definitions of your level to and from a server-side script. I've never made a publicly available level editor, but that's how I'd do it.

What I've made before was usually XML, defining my levels, which doesn't require a server-side script, just copy and paste.
