Remember the KayPro II, maybe maybe not. Ladder was a game created for the KayPro and with the machines limited capabilities the game was ASCII based. This is an attempt to produce a similar game for iOS. Only the main character is now an i, and the enemy and !. Read below for information about how to contribute your own levels and play them (with the paid version).
This repository hosts level sets created by the community. These levels are accessible to the iLadder application. To contribute your own levels follow the following simple steps.
- Create a branch of the repository
- On the repository site click the button titled: Branch: master
- Enter a name for the branch <branch_name>
- Select Create branch: <branch_name>
- Proceed to step 2
- Create your file structure. For example: Levels/ReallyAwesomeLevels/Level One... Level Two. Note that all level sets must start under the root Levels folder.
- Create your level file as a simple text file using the lvl file extension.
- See Object Legend for adding gaming content, adding items from this legend.
- Note the game will automatically zoom, so real estate is only a concern when the levels are to the extremes (very small or very large).
- Create a level description file (see the Level configuration for details), currently this specifies the order of levels in the game.
- Add a Level Set: entry in the root configuration file.
- Create a pull request for addition to the game
- Under the repository select the Pull Request tab
- Click the New pull request button
- For the base use master, for the compare use <branch_name>
- Click the Create pull request button
- As long as there is nothing obscene (including ascii pictures) the levels will be promoted.
- Begin enjoying playing your new levels :), and sharing them with the community. (Note there is a small delay for online content to become available once promoted)
As the application progresses expect more support for level descriptions, including things like marking the "Agent" with a different character.
