# Create levels for Selfless Heroes

This guide go through all the process of creating levels for Selfless Heroes and
publishing on the API.

## What use will be made of the published levels?

The community levels will be accessible in a dedicated section of the game in a
future release. I'm waiting until there are enough levels created by the
community before introducing this feature in the game.

## Reviewing process

Published levels will be reviewed before they are actually accessible in the
game. A level can be rejected for one of the following reasons:

-   The level is incomplete.
-   The level contains inappropriate language or imagery.

In case your level is rejected, a moderator will contact you by email to explain
why it is the case. We will help you to ensure that your level complies with the
publication requirements.

## Programming skills required

:pushpin: Although an effort has been made to make the process as straight
forward as possible, it's still far from a WYSIWYG (_What You See Is What You
Get_) kind of process.:blush: So **_some programming experience is
required_** to create levels for Selfless Heroes.

What skills are required?

-   Basic knowledge of javascript
-   Execute commands from a terminal
-   JSON format
