Simple Background Editor!

NOTE - "tile" mode is just for debugging how it will look against a tilemap, its not saved to the background

controls are explained inside the tool, you can also right click to copy the color the cursor is over!
once you save the background, it will be copied to your clipboard as a string to use.

thank you sincerely.

format is
'x, y, radius, color' for circles
'x1, y1, x2, y2, color' for rectangles

and you just add an extra '1' to the end of these to turn them into their outline counterparts

then put '|' between them

this can also be used for things like plant matter and similar foreground effects

simplified the template using the background, thanks to Howf Wuff

hey so the bg editor doesn't recognize tiles for some reason?
idk if I messed up something

the tiles are not part of the background currently, theyre for recreating level layouts so you can design the background around them
