In the beginning, Luke created a map file called testLevel.js. Now testLevel.js was formless and empty. Darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the cursor of Luke was hovering over the abyss.
And Luke said, “Let there be light,†but nothing happened. And Luke realized that ImpactJS’s level editor still did not incorporate voice-recognition technology despite months of whining for this feature on the ImpactJS Suggestions forum.
So Luke left-clicked and land or something land-like appeared. And Luke saw that it was good.
