Map editor #37

Open Akon32 opened 9 years ago

Akon32 commented 9 years ago

We should have a tool for more easy map creation (design/drawing) than drawing ascii in sources.

Specification draft:

  1. Map editor could be a cross-platform desktop application (more complex case - a web app).
  2. The main mission is allow the programmer (or level designer) to visually construct levels' maps for Keter.
  3. Map editor should export an levels as a resource or a scala source, and maps would be created (loaded) from these sources in runtime.
  4. Construction of levels includes drawing a floor, walls, placing jumps and theirs targets, placing objects, and specifying various properties.

I'd suggest saving maps to the JSON files and not Scala source code. This JSON may be later statically served with the Keter application itself. A bit later we may replace this static JSON content with something generated on the server side.
