Save a game file
To save your game as an AsciiMason json file, click on the game menu button and select "save game". It is recommended to name your save file the title of your game and adding a version number. You do not need to include the .json extension in the name.

Edit a game file
To load a game file into AsciiMason, select "load game" from the game menu and select the game file you wish to edit. This automatically sets AsciiMason to "play mode", so open the game menu again to enter "edit mode". Now, you can edit the game.

You can edit games created by yourself or others.
