Savefile format

Ratio Editor uses a JSON-like format for saving and loading levels. This JSON flavor comes from LibGDX project.

Structure

The basic structure of a level is like this:

{
    tilesets: []
    properties: []
    layers: []
    objects: []
}

All tilesets (both image-based and palettes) are stored in the tilesets array. Level-wide properties are stored in the properties array. Tile layers are stored in layers array, and objects in objects array.

Tilesets

A tileset has always three entries: name, type and tiles.

• Name is whatever the user types into the editor.

• Type is either normal for image-based tilesets, or palette for palettes.

• tiles contains all the tiles that were used in the level from this tileset. Each tile denotes the id, X and Y coordinates and the size of the tile.

If the tileset is a palette, it will also have colors array, which contains the color data of the palette.
