Gauntlet Editor has been written in Lazarus IDE and FreePascal with the purpose of being multiplatform (Windows, Mac, Linux).
To build Gauntlet Editor, Freepascal v3.2.2 or upper must be used, as well as Lazarus IDE (V3.8 or later).
Gauntlet Editor needs a range of packages installed on Lazarus. They will be required as needed. Just install them by following the instructions provided by de IDE, or use the Online Package Manager tool. Additionally, Linux building requires QT6 files to be distribuited as part of the build.
KControlsLaz >= 1.7.3

The Z80-based versions of Gauntlet (MSX, ZX, CPC) load packages of 10 levels (being 9 and 10 the treasure rooms), although 4 levels (and optinally a treasure room) are randomly chosen. This editor allows to save single mazes or one 10-level block as described formerly. The file format can be:
- Native (use "load" or "save" features), the Editor's own format.
- MSX / raw (use "import" or "export" features).
- MSX Disk version (use "import" or "export" features).
- ZX Spectrum / Raw
- Amstrad CPC / Raw
The raw files can be inserted into a TSX/CDT/TZX tape image file by using the TZX Tools or ZX-Block Editor tool.
In the future, creation of ready-to-play tape image files will be supported.
There are a full maze library (taken from the original and Deeper Dungeons tapes available for MSX, ZX Spectrum and CPC) in the "maze-library" folder inside the application directory.
