Stepforge

Pass along the working idea

A picture of a tiny level captures its arrangement but leaves out the movement that makes it interesting. Stepforge treats the transferable object as the editable board. A level code lets another person import the route, play it and change the parts rather than reconstructing the idea from an image.

This gives the first maker a useful stopping point. The level does not need to become a complete game before it can travel. A short staircase, a collectible and one awkward landing may already contain a choice worth passing on. Testing that choice early is more informative than adding decorative complexity around it.

The workshop supports both kinds of revision. Undo and redo revisit local edits, while a replayed solution makes the route's behavior inspectable. Someone receiving the code can preserve the interesting jump and alter the surrounding space. The contribution is therefore neither a fixed final object nor an empty template: it is a small working decision that another maker can continue.

The local workshop uses a 24-by-14 board with platforms, spikes, collectibles, a start and an exit. The player must collect every washer before leaving. Edits support undo and redo. Play, bounded route checking and solution replay help inspect the design, while level-code export and import carry the board between browsers without an account.

Export a level code, import it, and try another maker’s next step. Notice the consequence before adding another step. This presentation does not connect a hosted service or issue a token; its claim is the small interaction you can actually inspect.
