DOS Editor (Registerd Version Only)
The major diference between the DOS editor and the
Windows Editor is that the DOS editor allows you to
view the actual game screens this allows you to see
exactly what the player will see. This helps aid you
in level beautification etc.
The first menu you will see gives you the option to
select the episode 1,2 or 3.
The second menu you will see gives you the option to
edit the map or view the map or to clear the map.
Note: clearing the map resets all tiles to the wall
background fill circuit graphic (Option 1 below).
Graphic Tile Selections in DOS Editor (Levedit.exe)
Included with the Registered Version Only.
