You're not limited to having the second layer as the background... Or to two layers! There's a whole third dimension to explore! The game is now technically 3D! (Although, if we're gonna be technical, it's discrete rather than continuous. Rather limiting, but keeps things easier to handle!)

Hah... Background tiles work, I just need to set it up so they actually appear to be further back...

There's more to this than it seems, though. Stay tuned...

With the new UI comes block mirroring support. Half-blocks can't be mirrored, but attempting to do so switches them to stack on top of eachother!

Building with the new UI works. No eraser yet, oops 😅
I still need to get dragging working - it currently only places blocks when a button is first pressed.
You can close the palette without exiting editor mode, though!

JALE? More like JAIL because i'm imprisoned in all these half-blocks

#JALE update: I've been working on some new graphics. This includes different graphics for different orientations; you can see why this is important below (Left is different graphics for each, right is a single graphic rotated)

However, the editor can't handle more than one graphic per tile, so I have to write a system that turns a block ID and a rotation into the proper graphic. After this is done, the matter of saves will be trivial, and I'll release 0.0.2 with the following features:

New graphics!
More colors of metal blocks!
The ability to put gravity effects in a separate layer!
The ability to save and load worlds!

I tried to make a probability thingy but instead I made the circle unable to fall down.

I made a clone o- er, I mean a completely original game with no relation to Everybody Edits whatsoever! It's a platformer/real-time level-editor sort of thing, and you can play it in your browser if you'd like!

This is a very rough alpha. The end product ought to have many more block-types, as well as (crucially) multiplayer.
