Community Toaster 1

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 12:40 am

I saw a suggestion for a level editor in Technos's Kiyoshi Revamped topic, and that got me thinking. What if I made a level editor in which level codes which could be shared?

Using the codes, I could have the best of the levels be implemented in a game that's like Evil Toaster 3, but with community levels. Each level will be credited to which member made it.

Is this a good idea?

Yes!
And your welcome for the Level editor idea, or this would'nt be here!

I am an expert in turning objects and all sorts of stuff into a pile of strings... I guess I could help.

Okay, I would help

Thanks for the offering, but I think I've got this.

{ET3LEF(length of author)(author)(length of level name)(level name)(any other stuff)(base64'd code of block placements)EOF}

something like that. the length tells the parser how long the field is.

I've made a level editor for Boxinator before, but I want a proper saving/loading system without making the files too huge.

I know what I'm going to do, but it's HOW to do it, as in reading/writing bytes.

I can figure it out. I have a level editor example, but it's quite complicated...

Can you mix themes in the editor? That would be cool.

Mix themes? What do you mean by that?

I wouldn't add that.

OK, I've finally finished the basic interface. Now, if I find a good save system, and this is a REALLY BIG if, I might be able to release the editor tomorrow.

Also, I'm not sure if I want to make any more games. I'm really getting tired of this and I'm not sure if I want to start any new games... I think I might shove off Lost Data for a couple of years.

I think he means multiple games per level, e.g. Super Kiyoshi and Boxinator at the same time.

I have an idea for a game.

JANITOR QUEST

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 12:36 am

That would be impossible, because they're all the same wall object, except with a changed sprite. I can't change individual walls, so...

No. I won't start any new games.

You could with the creation code( sprite_index=sprite name here ) but you would have to do it one by one...

Or you could have another wall object with a difrent sprite with the main wall as a parent...

Well, if you want to use it.

Exactly why I don't want to do it.

I'm not familiar with all the "parent" stuff either.

@Emerald141: Well, making these games are just a waste of my time when I could be doing something more fun like playing Minecraft... I'm not getting paid. I'll play people's custom Evil Toaster levels, though.

Me, I want to make games. I just stink at bothering with figuring things out.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 1:31 am

Hmm, I think I found a level save/load system I could use. I have to go to bed now, but I'll try to finish it tomorrow morning before I go to school.

Seriously? Every once in a while I seriously think it's not worth it making games for you people.
