## Level editing

Level designs are stored in `./level/*.jsonlevel`. These are json files containing arrays, with each element representing a tile on the level. A basic example is:

```
{

"mesh": "mesh/lvl0.jsonmesh",
"data": [

- 1 = angle up
- 2 = vertical wall

- 4 = closed box
- 5 = open tunnel x-axis
- 6 = stairs rising
- 7 = box with small opening
- 8 = open tunnel z-axis
