Usability improvements for the TaleBlazer game editor

TaleBlazer games utilize GPS technology available on most mobile devices and tablets to create location-based augmented reality (AR) games. All TaleBlazer games are created in a web based editor on the TaleBlazer website using a scripts-block programming language. This this describes usability improvements to the TaleBlazer editor that improve the learnability, efficiency, and error correction ability for the game designer. These improvements consist of adding in an agent overview, a printable game summary, an error checker, and a redesign of the styling and layout of the previously existing editor settings.
