Re: [Super-tux-devel] LevelEditor testing

[Ricardo C. <ri...@ae...>]

 I just want to make a small note.
 The way I see the built-in leveleditor is to be a simple way, yet powerful=
l=20
enough, to create levels by ordinary users. More advanced level designers a=
re=20
encouraged to use FlexLay, that as just seen its first version released.
 So, I think we should not waste too much times in implementing fancy stuff.

 Stuff that the leveleditor is missing:
=2D keep enemies in platform option (maybe the best thing is to split enemi=
es,=20
this way we could have enemies with different shoe colors, as someone=20
suggested);
=2D also (dunno if it has already been implemented) there should be arrow=20
buttons to allow people to scroll Tilegroups/Objects;
=2D it would also be cool to run the leveleditor from the command line and=
=20
specifying a given file, just like we do with the normal games.

 Bugs:
 It is not possible to load levels that do not have an info file. We should=
=20
get rid of these info files and create a top-level one, IMO.

=2D-=20
The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they
are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is generally
understood.  Indeed, the world is ruled by little else.
