Ants - Level Editor

The Ants level editor is now available!  There are two parts to the level editor:

• The level editor, which is a Java application that runs on your desktop computer or laptop.
• The level tester, which runs on the Roku and will soon be included in Ants Pro

2. Run Ants Pro on your Roku.  Go to Help/Settings/Editor and enter the IP address from step 1.  Enter leading zeros if needed (i.e., 10.1.2.3 would be 010.001.002.003).
3. In the Java level editor, click in the bottom area to change your tool, then click in the grid to place objects.
4. Change the spawner pattern, arrow limits, and anthill limits via the Options menu.
5. In Ants Pro, select "Test Level" to try out your level.
6. Once you are satisified with the level, in the Java level editor, select "File/Save As..." to save it to a text file.
7. If you create a level you'd like to share and possibly have it included as a bonus level, send it to us!
