Plants vs. Zombies 2 Level Editor

Plants vs. Zombies 2 Level Editor, also referred to as Level Editor, PvZ2: LE or simply LE, is a Windows GUI tool for generating PvZ2 levels. It is written in C++ using SFML and it provides essential functionality for level creation.

🛠 State of Development

The project has been archived after being completed and can now be accessed for reference and portfolio purposes. This repository has two branches:

• 2.0.x branch is the complete stable version of the tool.
• 2.1.x branch contains work in progress for the next major reimplementation of LE. However, the update has been canceled, so the code is extremely unfinished and unstable.

📝 Goals

Originally, when starting this project, I persuaded the following goals:

• Remaking an old low-quality tool I made back in 2020 (Currently referred to as 1.0).
• Improving my skills in C++.
• Learning a new multimedia library, that being SFML.
• (Later) making custom UI on SFML without any third-party libraries.

📃 Features & Capabilities

Set of features, supported by the tool:

• Core features, such as JSON export.
• Settings for personalization:
  • Fullscreen and Windowed modes with widescreen resolutions (320:180, 640:360, 1280:720, 1920:1080).
  • Custom UI layout support (limited; only Standard layout is included).
  • UI translation support (English and Russian translations are included).
  • UI theming support ('New' and 'Old' themes are included).
  • Miscellaneous secondary options:
    • BGM and Sound Volume adjustment.
    • Export folder location.
    • Etc.
