Loading levels


Included in the content package for the Gemstone Hunter game are a few .MAP files in their own folder. These maps were created using the Level Editor, and we will use them to implement level loading. Feel free to replace these files with the levels of your own design!

The LevelManager module

Initially, our LevelManager module will only be responsible for loading MAP files into the TileEngine. As we add entities (enemies and gemstones) to the game, LevelManager will be expanded to track and control them as well.
