Hello everyone! I have been developing a maze game for a while now. It is a gridded game, and the grid is based on strings. I did this because the individual strings would be easy to manipulate.
Now that I have the game engine complete, and have written 14ish levels, I would like to make a level editor (I am the only person in my family who understands script). unfortunately, I have know idea how to overwrite a single character in a string...
Code:
"L" is lava, that will kill you.
"E" is the location of the exit to the maze
"P" is the location of the player when the level starts
"1" is a wall
"+" is the location to a portal (there CAN be more than 1)
"=" is the location that a portal will send you to (there can NOT be more than 1)
this is what a level looks like in the strings...
Code:
row1 = new String("111111111111111111111111111111111");
row2 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row3 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row4 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row5 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row6 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row7 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row8 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row9 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row10 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row11 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row12 = new String("10000000000000000P000000000000001");
row13 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row14 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row15 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row16 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row17 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row18 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000E01");
row19 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row20 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row21 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row22 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row23 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row24 = new String("100000000000000000000000000000001");
row25 = new String("111111111111111111111111111111111");
Ok, How can I take a string, and overwrite a single character?
I can't use replace because I want to replace only 1 character, no matter what it is, with any of the above characters...
sorry for the massive amount of info in this post, but everyone always complains about not having enough info...
map[0]= new Array(6,8,6,6,8,5,9,8,6,4,4,8,8,5,8,9)

so you can change every field with:
map[x][y] = *terrain*
but you could also use slice to change 1 character.
like: row9 = row9.slice(0, 10)+P+row9.slice(11, 20)
Hello everyone, I have managed to put together the level editor for my maze game. I am attaching the file, and I hope that some of you will open it, design a level with it, and send it to me via PM.
Design the level, and then click "view code" when your done. Copy and paste the code in your PM.
I included a "Copy" button that will copy the the text to clipboard for you, but it doesn't usually work...
the problem I'm having is that when I use this to copy multi-line statements, It will copy fine, It just doesn't copy as multi line... Everywhere a new line is started, it puts a square (when pasted into notepad). everywhere else, It runs as a continuous line
