## Custom Levels



Apoplexy (https://apoplexy.github.io/apoplexysite/) can be used to build custom

levels.

Custom levels can be played performing the following steps.



### Single Conversion



- Save level as XML file in Apoplexy, e.g. `./xml/level1.xml`

- Call convert script, e.g. `npm run convert .../xml/level1.xml`

  - A JSON file is placed at `/assets/maps/`, e.g. `/assets/maps/level101.json`

- Custom level ids starts beyond 100, e.g. `level1.xml` gets id `101`, etc.

  - An optional second parameter can be used to control level offset

  - e.g. `npm run convert .../xml/level1.xml 200` generates `/assets/maps/level201.json`

- Start game locally with `npm start` and open game in browser

- Change Url and set parameter `level` to the respective id, e.g. `level=101`

- Note: No special events are supported



### Batch Conversion



- Place level files into folder `/converter/`, where `` stands for the offset (default: 100)

  - e.g. `/converter/100`: place all levels starting with 100 offset

- Execute `npm run convert`

- Corresponding JSON files are placed at `/assets/maps/`
