That seems a lot like BASIC ... but it would allow infinite extension since you are using the x and the y. Would probably be easier to make level editors as well. Also could allow larger levels. |
Oh man, the files would be insanely huge. The whole point behind the .nw format is that each tile only takes up 2 characters in text format.
Besides, in case you didn't know, the current file layout already has a layer variable in it. Stefan was smart and added that into the .nw format when he first created it.
