Level editor

A level editor (also known as a map, campaign or scenario editor) is a game development tool used to design levels, maps, campaigns and virtual worlds for a video game. An individual involved with the development of game levels is a level designer or mapper.

Official level editors are typically made to assist game development or to allow for greater player creativity, while fan-made editors are usually created for easier modding. Level editors vary in complexity; editors used in game development are usually more difficult and extensive than those made with players in mind.^[1]

Modern level editors often allow to upload created levels online and play other uploaded user-made levels.^[2]^[3] Level editors often have a substantial effect on the game's longevity.
