"Secret" Glyph Codes to Use in Your Level Descriptions

mattmac — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Want to know how to get those cool little pictures in your level description?

Just type something like this:

"Look out for the falling <apple>! Press <A> to jump and <LS> to move!"

Here, apple would be replaced with a picture of an apple, <a> would get a picture of the A button on the controller, and LS would be replaced with a picture of the left stick.

Here's a list of all the glyph codes. Some of them have several different versions. Remember to put <> around the code to have it translated - the image should appear as soon as you press >.

There's also a special one: <cr> to let you put a line break in the middle of description. You can also do this by plugging a USB keyboard into your xbox.

I also find the chatpad is super-useful for Kodu work.
