I want to hack the game Towerfall Ascension in order to create an AI to play it.

Each level has a different structure of platforming blocks on a grid, which define the walls and floor of the level, and this data is essential to create the AI. The problem is that I have no idea how to get such level data, it's very different from getting the amount of health or the player position, which are just numbers.

I tried scanning for values that change when the level changes and stay the same on the same level, but couldn't get anything useful.

It seems a dotNet game, if not obfuscated, likely you can has a look into the source code from the assembly (*.exe or *.dll) .
Try google 'dnSpy' or alike de-compiler, and use it to open *.exe *.dll.

With the source, you probably can locate the function handle the map structure, then CE can help you find where the function in run-time memory, then the map pointer may be logged and then further do thing on it.
