Level Creation Guide
The level file is a plain text file with the extension .lev
The game is coded to use the file “level.lev” in the Game\level folder.
The file can contain a single level or multiple levels. Each level contains a number of
elements:
• [Level]
• [TerrainLayout]
• [Player]
• [Enemies]
• [SpecialObjects]
The last level should also contain

The level element should be followed by the level number. E.g [Level] 1

The terrain element should be followed by the number of terrain tiles in x and y direction.
Followed by a metrics containing numbers from 0-20, representing the different tile types.
