Easy level editing...

If you create a map editor in Windows, you can embed your Gideros game (export a win32 version and zip it), extract it to temp then add a level file to the assets folder. Then run the win32.exe program from within your program (set the working dir to the place you extracted the zip to).

In your game: If this file is present then play the game and auto start that level (edit mode?).

Make sure the file is a .txt so it will not be encrypted.

eg:
local file=io.open("edit.txt","r")
if file then
	local editdata=file:read()
	if editdata then
		level[1]=json.decode(editdata)
		EditMode=true
	end
	file:close()
end
