====== Creating and Copying Tasks ======

This section describes how to manage levels (tasks) within a game, duplicate levels, and import tasks from other games.

===== Creating Tasks =====

To add a new task to your game scenario:
  - Open your game editor.
  - Click the **"Add Task"** button (usually in the top or sidebar task management panel).
  - Fill in the required fields:
     * **Task Working Name** (visible to authors and to players after completion).
     * **Task Description** (the puzzle text, styling, media).
     * **Codes** (correct answers to pass the level).
  - Save changes.

===== Copying Tasks =====

The engine supports two ways of copying tasks: within the same game, and between different games of the same author.

==== 1. Duplicating Within a Game ====
If you need to create multiple similar levels (e.g. sharing the same layout styles or hints timing):
  - In the level list, locate the task you want to copy.
  - Click the **"Copy Task"** icon (or choose the copy option from the task context menu).
  - A clone will be created with the exact same text, codes, hints, and scripts. It will appear at the bottom of the list named ''Copy of [Task Name]''.
  - Edit the clone to replace the puzzle and correct answers.

==== 2. Importing Tasks from Other Games ====
You can transfer tasks from games you previously authored:
  - In the editor panel of your current game, click **"Import/Copy Tasks from Other Games"** (or equivalent in the UI).
  - In the dropdown, select the source game (from the list of games where you are an author).
  - Check the boxes next to the levels you wish to copy.
  - Click the **"Copy Selected Tasks"** button.
  - The tasks (with all hints, bonuses, and settings) will be added to the end of your current game scenario.
