- Path : you can optionally assign a folder in order to change the path to which the Level files will be created and saved
- Level : the level file you're currently working on (for saving and loading purposes).
- Create button : creates an empty level at given path, and assign it to the Level field in inspector.
- Save button : saves all scene tilemaps' contents to the assigned level file.
- Load button : iterates through all scene tilemaps and fills them according to what data can be found in the level file.

Important considerations : 
- the save and load buttons won't work if there is no Level assigned.
- the loading won't work if the scene tilemap names aren't the same as the tilemap data keys in the Level file", MessageType.None);
