Tile Editors?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Tile Editors?

I have seen some Tile Editor such as

Tile Studio

Tile Map

Are there anymore of Tile Editors around other than two above?

Which one is easier to used and port to BlitzMax so easily?

There are quite a few tile editors out there, and several are free (as in speech):

Tiled is the one I'm poking around with now: http://www.mapeditor.org/

It exports to JSON which makes reading map details a (relative) breeze.

I've seen several ready made "solutions" for BlitzMax before, with a module or such that reads maps and provides a "player", i.e. usually a "map handler object" of some sort and a demo app showing how to use it. You can search for those in the forums and see if the projects are still alive and/or if the files are still available.

Me I'm gonna roll my own (as usual) :D

Tile Studio has a native module for Blitzmax.
Same applies to Mappy.
Just scroll down their websites main pages.
