Feature List / Breakdown of Features

New Level Creation:

  • Create file structure for new level at specified location in user's Roaming folder
  • Copy over all default assets into the files so the user can easily see what they should change. Exporting:
  • Copy over all player data into a JSON file and save it.
  • Copy over all tile data into a CSV file, including rotation if applicable, then save it. Importing:
  • Read a JSON file and set up the player's properties to match the data.
  • Read a CSV file and copy all of it's data into the current tileSet, including rotations
  • If the player is present, make sure the EditorManager knows it

Future Work / Risks

Future Work:

  1. Importing doesn't change world size yet since we don't have a level of a different size to test with.
  2. Without enemies being implemented, they aren't included in the JSON yet.
  3. A proper menu with buttons to save/load from.
  4. Copy assets from the specified import to replace current sprites and assets, not done since I'm not sure of the final structure inside the Godot project yet.

Risks:

  • Adding more information requires adding more to save.
