LevelSVG map editor

riq — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:53:00 +0000

My second game will be a platform game.

One of the most time-consuming tasks in developing platform games is creating good level maps. Therefore, I have put a lot of effort in trying to ease this task by creating an SVG parser that supports:

Basic physics objects like: rect, circle, lines, bezier paths and nested transformations
The possibility to edit physics properties like: density, friction, restitution and isSensor
The possibility to link SVG elements with pre-defined physics objects and cocos2d sprites
Collision detection logic between these elements
Jump logic (the hero only jumps when touching the ground)
Movement logic (tilt, d-pad)

Example video:

The source code of this level “editor” will be available for purchase in a few days.
