This +menu can be used to select or add level subsets. +A level subset is a collection of levels. Subsets can be chose +during gameplay when starting a game. + +After selecting the subset, have a look at the level editor. +The button bar in the right is the place where you can control +the actions related with editing. You can select levels and add +throught there. +To select tiles (foreground or background) and enemies, the button +bar is the right place. There you can also save, test and setup +the level. It is also possible between two selection cursors! Give +a try to both. +A right click in a button bar button will give you a description +and a shortcut for it. + +To change a tile, just press the tile you want to change with a +mouse left click. The current tile will be used. Depending +on the selection behavior, you can or not select more +than one tiles. +To scroll, you just have to point over the two arrow buttons, or +use the right button click. + +There is a small help that can be reached by pressing F1. + +To go back to the menu, just press Esc. + +Now, do lots of levels and HAVE FUN!! + +Please, send your levels or any art you created to the SuperTux's +mailinglist or to the maintainer (look at AUTHORS.txt). + + +SuperTux developers
