Hey Everyone,
This will be my very first post here.I would like to know what all options do i have for Level Editor that can be efficiently used with Corona SDK.
I built a full fledged Corona based game just a few months back.It has over 90 levels however i had to manually place all the sprites and objects using coordinates in code and that was a pretty hefty and tedious process i must say.
After shipping my first game i have already started working on my next game which happens to be a level based games with over 100 levels planned.It would be great if i can grab some decent tool that would allow me to not have to manually place each object in every level using screen coordinates.
- I have tried Level Director a bit and seems nice however the overall GUI still seems a bit non-streamlined and can use some facelift.
- I also tried Composer GUI but as of now i have no clue about how i can go about adding ‘class’ to an object/asset and assign custom properties to them from within Editor which can later be accessed in the Lua Code.The ‘class and custom properties’ feature as is available in Level Director would be a nice addition for Composer GUI in case its not already there ; Sorry if it already exists since i haven’t been able to fully explore it yet.
I came across few other names like Corona SVG Level Editor and Kwik (for Interactve Story Apps) but i am not sure how good they are to make a complete game.
