Hey, thanks for implementing my suggestions, they are super helpful! Since you switched from commentary to a discussion board I wasn't able to read your comment.

I have another suggestion if you don't mind: add layers. It would be very helpful that, for example, I can save the text of each of my layers independently and render it with different color on my custom engine.

Thanks in advance, if you're interested in what I'm doing with this tool I can send you screenshots.

Absolutely! I'd love to see how this tool is being used. Even if it's just "behind the scenes" stuff for a bigger project, please share some of it with us!

I wasn't sure if itch would keep the previous comments when I switched to the discussion board, but I think this is better for things like this. At least you got to see that the features were added and try them out.

As for layers, I'll have to think carefully about how to implement them. Could you give me more details about how you would like them to work? Would just a few layers be enough, or do you need to be able to add layers indefinitely? Do you need to be able to change their rendering order? Do they even need to overlap? How would you like them to export? If you can help me understand how you'll use them, I can try to build it accordingly.

No problem, for the layers it would be useful specifically for my engine I don't see any use aside from it. To make an ASCII image with more than one color I generate layers on top of each other, each rendered with a different color code. That's why it would be useful to me.

I don't code often theses days but I prototype a lot of levels with your tool, I will show you more once I progressed a bit more.

In that case, would it work to just export each color separately? That way you can draw in the colors you want (or similar ones), and then the app can just export something for each color.

So I implemented two more export options:

• Export as text files
• Export each color as text file

Which I think will solve your problem. I also added a style dropper tool (pulls character and color from a pixel), to make it easier to reuse colors.

Please let me know what you think! If you still feel you need layers, do tell me, but it will be a while before I can sit down and incorporate it because it involves basically redoing the whole logic of the app.

Sorry for the lack of response, yeah that should do it! Thanks!

I'm gonna release a demo soon of the game I'm working on, you'll be able to see the levels I designed with your tools.
