Hello,

Im working on a topdown game and I figured it might be a good idea to use a level editor for creating the worlds. Now I am going to make the game for both android and iphone and also android and apple tablets. I want to make the game work on as much devices as possible.

Now I found the LevelHelper and SpriteHelper for mac on http://www.gamedevhelper.com/. But I was watching the documentation and I see they make different hd sizes of sprites for example the iPad and iphone 4. But not for android devices. So I am wondering if LevelHelper is only usefull for iphone or ipad? Is there anyon here who has tips regarding which level editor works best with corona which supports all devices also android

I was very enthusiastic about LevelHelper and SpriteHelper cause they seem to work very good, but I am afraid it only works well for iPhone and iPad.

Thanks in advance!!

I use both SpriteHelper and Levelhelper(both together and separately) and it works equally fine on both Android and iOS. The ‘HD’ sizes mention ipad/iphone since those devices have the retina display, I guess… or maybe because SH supports other SDKs that don’t handle images as well as Corona? In any case, if you use the dynamic scaling available in corona the HD graphics work fine on all devices.

I haven’t used any other level editors with Corona because I haven’t felt that need to so I would say I recommend it. [import]uid: 147305 topic_id: 32491 reply_id: 129221[/import]
