Rockman level editor
1. Purpose
This program reads a Megaman 1 ROM and patches it to become
a hacked game.
All the level edits are hardcoded into the program. This is Bisqwit's pet project.
1.1. Goals
- To provide a text based framework for creating a Rockman hack with new levels.
- To put the engine details behind. The user is not required to have knowledge of a "tile squaroid assembler". TSA blocks are generated automatically from the level description. Whatever can be solved algorithmically, will be done so. Background graphics are automatically generated.
2. Sample
How would you edit levels without graphics? Here's how.
This is an example screen from the game. Can you recognize where?

It is updated occassionally, when I need to clarify something for myself.
