Introduction

Galaxy Editor is the in-house level editor for Galaxy Cannon. I was involved in the project during my time in Rubycell Entertainment (2011).

It features a fully WYSIWYG environment with the following features:

• Play test a level right in the editor
• Run on a tablet like iPad to preserve the feel of touch control
• Adjust an object’s collision mask
• Move, delete and copy an entire group of objects
• Backup levels to the company’s server
