List Platformer Engine: Your Gateway to Level Creation

List Platformer Engine is a lightweight level creation tool rather than a full game. It allows users to design custom platformer stages by editing a simple text-based list. Inside the project, check the "Template" box to access the level data.

Simple Symbol-Based Editing

Modify rows using specific symbols: type "∆" to place spikes, "~" to place ground platforms, and "_" to create empty space. A critical design rule is to never alter the bottom two rows of ground, as they form the base of the level. Once your level is complete, you are encouraged to remix the project and share your creation with the community.

Basic Gameplay & Audio

Basic gameplay is standard: use arrow keys to move and jump, and avoid the spikes you've placed. Background music is provided by Bensound.com. This project serves as an accessible introduction to game design and level editing for aspiring creators.
