Ants 2 Level Editor

The Ants 2 level editor is now available! There are two parts to the level editor:

  1. The level editor, which is a Java application that runs on your desktop computer or laptop.
  2. The level tester, which runs on the Roku and is included in Ants 2. Sorry, it is not included in the free version of Ants 2.
Download Java version for Mac/Win/Linux

Basic Usage

  1. Run the Java level editor on your computer. Go to Help / Testing Help and look at the IP address listed.
  2. Run Ants 2 on your Roku. Go to Help / Settings / Editor and enter the IP address from step 1. Enter leading zeros if needed (i.e., 10.1.2.3 would be 010.001.002.003).
  3. In the Java level editor, click in the bottom area to change your tool, then click in the grid to place objects.
  4. Change the spawner pattern, arrow limits, and anthill limits via the Options menu.
  5. In Ants 2, select Create Level, then Test Level to try out your level.
  6. Once you are satisfied with the level, in the Java level editor, select File / Save As… to save it to a text file.
  7. If you create a level you'd like to share and possibly have it included as a bonus level, solve the level in Ants 2, then share it with us!
