level layer

What it does

The level layer command lets you build one playable level from multiple map blocks. This is useful when you want to author a base map first, then add extra visual or gameplay detail in separate passes.

How to use it

1. Write a normal map block in the LEVELS section.
2. Add a line containing layer.
3. Add another map block with the same width and height.
4. Repeat layer + map block again if you need more overlays.

Why it is useful

• Keep complex levels easier to edit by splitting content into passes.
• Add detail without rewriting the original map block.
• Make collaboration easier when different people edit different layers.

Rules and limits

• layer must come directly after a map block.
• Each overlay map must match the base map dimensions.
• If two objects end up fighting for the same collision layer in a cell, compilation fails with an overlap error.
• Background tiles in overlay maps can be used as transparent filler when you do not want to replace existing content.
