How to create a level for Bawordetsu_LE


With the new Bawordetsu_LE_Edition, everyone can create a level!
First of all, find the "Levels" folder in Bawordetsu_Data.

There, you'll find "British_Grammar.json" and "Sequential.json".

Copy one of those files and rename it as you like, that will be the name of the level displayed in game. Open the file with any text editor (you can have a more organised view of .json files opening them with a browser).

There are two game modes in Bawordetsu_LE: sequential and non-sequential. Non-sequential spawns random words from a pool of words (wordList), and ends when reaching a certain score (playerScoreTarget), while Sequential is a new game mode that ends after all the words from wordList have been written, generated in the order they've been inserted in the pool. 
So, use  {"sequential":false, if you want randomly generated words, or {"sequential":true, if you want sequential levels.

Next, you'll find "wordGenerationDelay":1.5,"wordFallSpeed":1,"playerLives":3,"playerScoreTarget":10000,

  • wordGenerationDelay is the amount of seconds before a new word appears on screen
  • wordFallSpeed is the speed of a falling word
  • playerLives is the amount of times a word can fall at the bottom of the screen (on 0 it's game over)
  • playerScoreTarget is the amount of points necessary to complete non-sequential levels (this parameter is ignored on sequential levels, but don't remove it

Finally,  wordList is the list of words that are gonna be generated:

  • Each word must be contained within the [] of the list,
  •  separated by a comma,
  • and inserted in ""
  • special characters and spaces are not allowed (yet), only words in the latin alphabet

And there you go, just leave the .json file in the Levels folder and it will appear in the Level Selection Screen!

Have fun converting literature into sequential pages of Bawordetsu! (I should make a tool to automatically convert a text into a wordList for Bawordetsu, stay tuned)
