Surgery

Prepare for your examination

Surgery can break your level in ways that are not recoverable!

Please, if you are doing this, make sure to create a copy of your level before continuing

What is File Surgery?

Surgery is the act of changing your level from writing directly into the file, rather than using the editor interface.

As you know, whenever you save a level inside the Game Editor, a file that contains all the settings, actions, and decorations is updated. But in this case, we can do those changes over the file itself.

What do I need to start the Surgery?

-> A Text Editor software to read and edit the text file

Here are a few you can use for free:

---> Windows Notepad (You most likely already have this) ---> Notepad++ (Better Notepad) ---> Any IDE software (Integrated development environment)
