Feature List / Breakdown of Features

Main Menu

Root Page. Three main parts. The title section which displays the name of the game, the left button panel, and the level panel. The Left button panel has 3 buttons; New Level, Load Level, and Quit. The level panel has an item list to display all loaded levels and allow users to enter a level by selecting it there. Links to New Level Overlay and Load Level Overlay through the buttons.

New Level Overlay

Allows you to name a level and set the height and width of the new level. Two buttons to create the level which brings you to the editor state with that level loaded. The cancel button closes the overlay and brings you back to the main menu.

Import Level Overlay

Allows you to import a level through a filepath. A button allows you to open file explorer to select a file to import in. Open brings you to the editor state of the loaded level. Cancel closes the overlay and returns to the main menu
