Add more levels

My game allows you to add your own levels; you follow the below guideline:

• Create a file with name <level_name>.txt in folder levels
• Add one more line with content <level_name> in file list-levels.text in the same folder

The file <level_name>.txt consists of:

• The first line contains two integers $m, n$ ($m\le 11, n\le 20$) - number of rows and number of columns
• The next $m$ lines, in each line there are $n$ integers:
  • Each one has value from $0$ to $32$
  • Two cells have same number should have the same character (The chosen character is followed by the order of tiles in list_tiles.txt)
