Guides

Note that there are distinct layers of difficulty in making a new game. Below they are divided into “Easy” and “Intermediate”. “Easy” is any process that does not require actual coding and can be completed by editing settings files (JSON files in the PROJECT/game/ folder) or from within the Tiled Level Editor.
