Yeah but it's best if it scans the first few bytes of the content, in case someone has QuickTime Player a game/mario level starting with QT on his calc.

LOL

Ok, now that that's all cleared up...I can save the menu for later. New progress forthcoming!
See you, space cowboy...

Thx...time to go check WikiTI for info on the VAT. Mario 2.0 did it, so can I.

The above overestimated my programming ability by leaps and bounds and should be disregarded :)

Ok, progress:

I have kludged reading from appvars and created a human-unusable level editor.

Next step is to make all of this useful. This may take a while. :)

Yeah I hope you make it user-friendly, because then few people may use the level editor. There's a reason why so few people code for BBC Basic compared to Axe. (although BBC Basic can do great stuff too)

Yeah, it's best to make them user friendly.  That being said, the Exodus editor is pretty un-user friendly. :P

Haha yeah probably none of my level editors are friendly at all.  The least friendly one being the Portal editor, which is awful x.x everything from the external level handling, to the way levels are edited is just horrendous.

That said, in BASIC it is sometimes inevitable, as you cannot modify program content from another program. In Metroid II, I had to manually paste my matrix data inside the map programs. :(

Well im not talking so much the way it handles the levels so much as the general interface.  In order to edit a level you had already made, you had to play it in the game, then press a special key which would save the pic, then quit, go back to the editor, recall the pic, erase all the things besides the tiles, and put back in everything else x.x and every button had a different object, instead of like a menu or something.  And you could only have 1 custom level at a time, instead of as many as you want x.x
