SLED: Stupid Level EDitor

The program is at a very WIP stage.

Features

• Small: a relatively flexible editor to make maps
• Export functionality: export to a .sled file or a header file
• Easy to use
• A very simple API which allows you to use maps on games you make
• Made with raylib

Usage

Running the program

SLED can be called directly with no arguments and it will load up the "UI mode", which will ask either for a new map or ask you to load a map

However, SLED can also be used from the command line.

Calling

sled new

Will open up a small interface which will ask for input, then after all fields are completed, the program will run.

Calling

sled load

Will look for a map.sled file and a map.sledi file on the current working directory.

Controls

• Use your left mouse button to set tiles
• Use your right mouse button to clear tiles
• Use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out
• Hold shift and use the left mouse button to pan over the map
• Use C and V to change the tileset index (this will be changed)
• Use G to turn the grid on or off

Exporting

SLED has a vim-like way to export your maps. Inside the editor, there is a small textbox which will ask for commands. The commands are

tobin
toheader

API

SLED has a very simple API which allows you to use your maps on your games. It can be found under the api directory, with its' respective examples.

typedef struct sled_map {
    unsigned char *grid;
    int width;
    int height;
    int tile_width;
    int tile_height;
    const char *tilesheet;
} sled_map;

sled_map sled_load_map(const char *map_file, const char *map_info_file);
void sled_free_map(sled_map map);

Building

Linux

1. Run ./setup.sh to build raylib.
2. Run ./build.sh to compile the project.

Windows

1. Download w64devkit:

• w64devkit-x.x.x.zip for 64-bit
• w64devkit-i686-x.x.x.zip for 32-bit

2. Extract w64devkit and run w64devkit.exe.
3. Inside w64devkit, go to the directory where you cloned sled.
4. Run ./setup.sh to build raylib.
5. Run ./build.sh to compile the project.

Windows (cross compile)

1. Install mingw-w64 using your package manager.
2. Run TARGET=Windows_NT ./setup.sh to build raylib.
3. Run TARGET=Windows_NT ./build.sh to compile the project.

Coming soon

• 2D tilesheet support (current is 1D)
• Multiple tiles drawing/erasing
