For example, if you have played the Platformer Starter, you may have noticed how the levels are created. A .txt document contains letters, numbers and symbols, stating where certain blocks, gems and enimies will be, including where the character will start and where the stage exit is.
I think that it would be a great idea for someone to make something like this:

Code:

....................
....................
....................
....................
....................
....................
....................
.........GGG........
.........###........
....................
....GGG.......GGG...
....###.......###...
....................
.1................X.
####################

Show this:

To do this, you would only need to specify the block size, import the picutres and assign a letter, number or symbol to each picture. That way, when you expot it as a text document, it will automatically write the code based on the position of the the pictures and blank spaces. That should, at least, simplify platform games. I'll try to get to work in a small progam that is capable of doing that.
