To come back to the menu, press Esc. +- New Level - creates a new level. The number of the level +is showed in the upper left part of the screen. The level +file are currently placed on data/levels/default. +- Test Level - if you want to test the current level, use +this option. +- Level Settings - this allows you to edit the header of the +file (as described in the beggining of this document). An +important field is the 'Level width' that allows you to +adjust level's size. +(Warning: there are some characters that do not work, cause +they are not supported by the fonts) +- Load Level - goes to a given level number. +- Save Level - saves the current level. +- Quit Level Editor - goes back to SuperTux's main menu. + +Editing mode: +To edit the level, you'll have to use the mouse or the +keyboard to control the red cursor, using the keyboard +to change tiles. Tiles keys are the same used by the +level format, listed above. You can check them in the fly, +pressing F1.
