XNA World Editor

2D world editor written in C#. The world view is rendered using XNA. I originally developed this tool in 2012 as a side project for an infinite side scrolling platformer game that I was working on. This is an iteration upon a hacked together editor using HTML5, which would honestly be a waste of time and sanity to put on GitHub.

The forms and UI components use DotNetBar. Because DNB is not Open Sourced, I have stripped out all resource and project files and only the core classes that do things remain.

Features Include

• Import world from a file
• Export as image or XNA content file. Written in such a way that alternative file formats can easily be implemented
• Complete history management (undo/redo actions)
• Collision tiles
• Multi-layers
• Multi-tilesets
• Toggle tile grid
• Toggle layer opacity (selected layer is more opaque than other layers)
• Tabbed worlds (edit more than one at the same time)

Tools

• Tile Brush
• Tile Fill
• Tile Rectangle Selection
