    • Start (optional sprite that refers to start point)
    • Way (optional sprite that refers to a waypoint (not start/end))
    • End (optional sprite that refers to end point)
    • Blocked (optional sprite that refers to a tile that is blocked for buildings)
  • Waves (Array)
    • Enemies (Array)
      • Layer
      • Delay
      • Type
      • Health
      • Amount
      • Points
      • Speed
      • Spawn interval
• Assets
  • properties.json
  • spritesheet.png
  • tilemap.json
  • animation.json

Updated: Added array of layers that describe waypoints and graphics. Each layer will be rendered above the previous one. Each element of the layers array referes to an element of the tilemap layers array.

Example config:

{
	"name": "Train",
	"lives": 10,
	"layers": [
		{
			"type": "graphics"
		},
		{
			"type": "waypoints",
			"start": 1,
			"way": 2,
			"end": 3
		},
		{
			"type": "waypoints",
			"start": 11,
			"way": 12,
			"end": 13
		},
		{
			"type": "buildings",
			"blocked": 1
		},
		{
			"type": "graphics"
		}
	],
	"waves": [
		{
			"enemies": [
				{
					"layer": 1,
					"delay": null,
					"type": "Steam Loco",
					"health": 50,
					"amount": 5,
					"points": 10,
					"speed": 30,
					"spawnInterval": 1000
				},
				{
					"layer": 2,
					"delay": 3000,
					"type": "Steam Loco Small",
					"health": 10,
					"amount": 10,
					"points": 2,
					"speed": 50,
					"spawnInterval": 1000
				}
			]
		},
		{
			"enemies": [
				{
					"layer": 1,
					"delay": null,
					"type": "Electric Loco",
					"health": 50,
					"amount": 5,
					"points": 10,
					"speed": 30,
					"spawnInterval": 2000
				}
			]
		}
	]
}

[naofireblade]

Updated: Added layer type "buildings" and option "blocked" to define which tiles cannot be build upon. All towers will be build on the layer. Only one buildings layer is allowed. Graphic and Enemys layers after the buildings layer will be rendered on top of the buildings.

[naofireblade]

Updated: Converted enemy object to array. Moved layer and delay option into enemies entry instead of wave.
