Believe it or not, a level editor is a really cool project on its own, and pretty fun to use once created!! You go through the same steps of loading in all your images for the different tiles and setting up a PyGame game board as you would in your actual game, but the only 'player' controls you need for a level editor are the ability to change tile assignments using the mouse!

We then set it up to display the board you've just created to the console window so you can copy good levels into your main game!

The full platformer using the tiles you see in this video is coming in the next week so be sure to check out the channel for tons of great content, and subscribe and turn on the bell to make sure you don't miss any great future projects!!
