This one has an Import button so you can import existing levels and tweak them.

It won't import their default Level5.txt file because of a typo in the file. The real game is resistant to such typos, but my import parser is not. Live with it.

It also imports the player pieces but doesn't have any idea where to put them on the map so it just kinda sticks 'em in there for you to play with.

Sounds cool Tony.

I think I'll wait for version 2.0, with the ability to play the game inside the editor, and a side tray for the player pieces.

I heard a rumor that 3.0 has built-in ai to figure out possible level solutions. Any truth to that?

Don't encourage him! We want Tony to use his programming horsepower to work on LogoEdit so we can edit our bootup animations and Image Pan visuals.

Okay, this is weird... well, not weird... but they must have updated the .swf ... the version that i downloaded from the site just before they took it offline has a "hint" button in the place where the ? used to be.... I've attached a zip of it.

Hmmm. It seems that it only ever shows the first item and it's hard-coded to their original levels.

Hmm, think they got wind of my editor?

I'm sorry. I meant that the help is hard-coded. The new levels still work, but the hint (a green image of an object that fades in, then out) is specific to the original levels. Damn those indefinite antecedents!
