Help to a fairly new developer

[P-Terrell]

I'm a relatively new developer with next to no experience but I've made my entire framework of my app (menus and gameplay skeleton)
Now I have to start creating the gameplay.

I don't have any money to spend on softwares so how do I create levels and characters without using a third part program?

if you don't have the budget for software like LevelHelper (which will really help you a lot in designing levels) ~ you can try using .plists to store level variables

so how do I create characters?
