No, just ask cheat what he does and he'll maybe tell you:P

No, you can find the sprites online or rip them/copy them yourself. I often use a sprite set I got from The Spriter's Resource for my maps, but some sprites I actually made myself which theoretically could be submitted to the Spriter's Resource if I wasn't both lazy and wanting DS Ultimate to host some exclusive sprites.

Lunar Magic has an option where you can make bitmaps of your levels (which is probably easier), but if you'd rather not get into R0Ms and what not, you can go to places like the Spriter's Resource, as cheat as suggested, and build your levels from there.

A quick warning though: Making levels via sprites in an image editor is rather slow work, especially the construction of the actual ground and walls of the level in the image. And how many spriters for some ridiculous reason have split the sprites into multiple parts.

Heh. I haven't seen one level design made by you that I thought looked like it had been slapped together in five minutes.

And you won't. Some of them took like four hours at minimum, and some took probably about 12 hours.
