Gloop Deluxe is the creation of Toris and the original Gloop won the GBAX.COM 15 Days Coding Competition. You can download Gloop and buy Gloop Deluxe at The AeonFlame Website

Gloop Deluxe Level Editor

The editor for making your own levels are quite easy to understand and allow you to make Gloop Deluxe an unending challenge for those of you who like it. The level editor and campaign editor come with the game when you buy it, so it's one of those nice advantages over the original Gloop.

First you’ll want to make two images, one of the are you want the Gloop to run on and then the background. The foreground should be very simple having whatever you want to have for terrain for the Gloop to travel on and making everything else 255 red, 0 green and 255 blue (a bright pink color) which is set aside as the transparency color. Another good thing to remember if you don’t want a pink border outlining everything in your level is to turn off anti-aliasing. Then you can just make whatever you want as a background, but remember the background will not affect the Gloop’s path and can be used as a distraction if that is what you want to do.

The next step is to start leved.exe, which came in the gloopdx.zip that you got upon your purchase. There are six tabs but don’t worry about that yet, just input the name of your images (I put mine in the same directory as the leved.exe to simplify the process) and click the button that says Load Level and Backdrop Images for Preview.

Now that you can see what your level is going to like you’ll want to switch to the Gloop Spawners tab which will let you setup where you want the Gloop to come from when you start the level. You can have upto three different spawners and can choose what color and how much to let out which will all depend on what you want to do for your level.

Exits is the next tab and is exactly the same as the Gloop Spawners except you choose how much Gloop to save instead of how much to release.

The Items tab allows you to edit what Items in addition to the normal line tool that you’ll be able to use during the level, you’ll want to keep in mind how many of the items you’ll want and that it’s enabled otherwise it won’t be there.

Options tab allows you to change the amount you’re allowed to draw and the time limit depending what difficulty you’re also able to define where the cursor starts off.

Finally there is the Create & Load tab, where you can either save the level your working on or load an existing level to edit it or just look at it’s settings.

Gloop Deluxe Campaign Editor

Now if you want to use your levels your going to have to create a campaign for them to be in. The campaign editor is pretty straightforward, you type in the name of the levels and then type a name for the campaign and save. You can also load campaigns to edit the levels available and to add/remove levels to your campaign.

If you want I have made a pack of one campaign with 5 levels it’s on my download page
