In the old times, level designer would have to code in binary values to layout the level. Thus, I wanted to create an editor that allows multiple level designers to work together on a cloud base, and to easily export the level data directly to the game without extra compilers.​
Thus, I have:
-
Developed a level design editor plugin in JavaScript that enables direct sprite arrangement in Google Sheet instead of binary file modification
-
Implemented a level data parser in Python that converts editor input into binary level layouts
