JSON map files are defined by 3 keys, "boxes", "start_positions" and "flag_position". "boxes" and "start_positions" is a 2D array containing coordinates of the all boxes (including grass tiles) respectively the start positions of tanks. "flag_position" is a coordinate array for the flags position on the map.
TXT map files are defined by 3 headers, "boxes", "start_positions" and "flag_position". Each row is separated by a newline ("\n"). Each row contains either a header marking the beginning of header data or a array defined by values separated by commas (","). The "boxes" header rows define corresponding map row box positions (including grass tiles). "start_positions" header rows contain the coordinates of each tanks starting coordinate. "flag_position" header contains a single row marking the flags coordinate on the map.
