The KabaSuji Builder allows a user to create a levels and level packages to play in the main KabaSuji game.
In order to run the KabaSuji builder run the file MainBuilder.java as a java application. This will open the KabaSuji Builder window and get you to the home screen. From the builder home screen you have the option to (1) create a new package which will have you create a new level and save as a package, or (2) add a new level you’ll create to an already existing package. If you wish to add a level to an existing KabaSuji levels package, you will need to select the ‘Add Level to Package’ button.
No matter which option you select from the home screen you will be prompted to create a level. In the next screen, shown bellow, you can add a level name, change the size of the board and chose which level type your level will be. You can also grey out tiles on the board that you do not wish to make available for pieces to be placed on by clicking that tile on the board.
In the next screen you can create pieces, hints, place numbers on the board if you’re playing a release level, add random pieces to the bullpen, and set the number of moves or time limit for your given level. For the release level view, tap the number button to increment the number and right click to change the color. Tap the ‘Place#’ button to start putting the numbers on the board.
In order to complete your level, press the complete button and select the directory you’d like to save it in. If you selected the ‘add level to package’ button in the home screen you will have to select and already created levels package to save your level into.
In order to run the game, run the file MainGame.java as a java application. The file can be found in the Main package. This will open the KabaSuji window and get you to the home screen. At the home screen you have the option to: (1): ‘continue’ to the next available level in the default level package (2): go to the level select screen which shows all of the levels in the default level package through the button ‘levels’ (3): open customs levels through the ‘extra’, or (4): quit the app with the ‘exit’ button.
In the customs levels screen you will be prompted to select a custom level package file that was created in the builder from your computer’s folder.
When playing a game, right click a piece in the bullpen to flip and double click the piece to rotate.
