INFO:

- What is a level?
It's an amount of files of type <name>xxxx.mdt. Each file is the screen x
of the level.

- What is a screen?
Is a tile-matrix with 10 planes of depth.

- What is a tile?
Is a PCX file of 256 colors and size 16x16. It's the most basic part of the
design of a screen.

- Can I make my own tiles?
Yes, but you MUST RESPECT the SIZE,PALETTE and the name must be as out tiles,
(<tilexxx.pcx>),till a 256 limit.(It's a temporary limit). MUST SEND THEM
WITH THE LEVEL.

- How do I make the levels?
Think a name and Use Your Illusion (GN'R).

- What are the tile types?

NORMAL: It's a tile for background. They are in the plane 0-8.
SOLIDO: Solid object. 
SEMISOLIDO: Like Solido, but you can pass throw them form down to up.
        (For jumpin' platforms)
SOLIDO DESTRUIBLE: A solid, but can be destroyed.
ESCALERA: A stair or ladder.
1PLANO: Plane 9. This tile is saw in first plane, over the rest of the screen
In these types, planes from 0-8 are filled with background tiles, and the
representative tile is on plane 9. Ex. You have two tiles, one is a wall, an
the other one is a stone. Put the wall in plane 0, then click on SOLIDO and
put the stone over the wall. Wall is on 0 and stones is on 9, and you see the
stone standing over the wall. The entire type is SOLIDO, so caracters won't
pass throw it.

ANIMACION: Is an animation. Plane 0 is a background tile. From 1 to 9 are
the frames of the animation.
