 Thanks to those that helped, but there's probably no point to continue with it because of the infinately better ones in the gallery and the news page. :) Oh and the layers tabs are just for show at the moment. :) And I must say I'm quite proud of the way I drew only the tiles that are on the screen. Took me a few hours of staring at the ceiling, but I managed to figure it out. :) Oh, and you aren't limited to a certain size of tiles so it also makes it a good arkanoid editor. |

| Where can we download that ? |

| I for one prefer a nice and simple editor like this one. I think you should continue with it. Any chance of a demo? Jason. |
| ||
| looks good and a great accomplishment. Most folks would prefer to use something very simple than complicated....I think you finish it up...and post a demo! |
| ||
| Don't worry about others, just keep on trying new things and program for personal enjoyment. Your program looks like it would still be usefull. If nothing else, you can claim that you did make an editor that worked. |

| Thanks guys, I suppose it is worth finishing off then, I just gotta finish the layers, and the saving (which should be easy enough) before I can realease it. |
| ||
| I assume you're referring to FishEd; bear in mind that the project for me was an exercise in what I could accomplish, possibly more so than the end result. Quitting projects half way through is no good for your morale or your coding stamina. Finish your project and be proud of what you achieve. :) |
| ||
| Ok, yeah, I'm going to finish it up. |
| ||
| good work :] - the more tools the better ;) |
| ||
| Looks great, what's it written in? |
| ||
| Thanks, BlitzMax. |
| ||
| What's the 'hook' for using your editor? Look at : World Artist FishEd Mappy Tilestudio UME and think where your's fits/competes. |
| ||
| Well, it doesn't compete with any of those products. In fact, mine is obsolete compared to them. However, mine is free :) |
| ||
| Plus yours is written in BMax so it allows for some neat transparencies and other effects. I think you should take it in this direction to set it apart from the crowd. Jason. |
| ||
| Very nice. This would be great if you gave it some simple shortcuts to make it extremely efficient, and polished the features it has. A simple way for you to improve the visuals of your editor is to get a XP manifest file. Search the forums for "manifest" and you'll find some info ;) |
| ||
| It's actually nearly finished :) Its current 'features' are: - Up to 10 layers - Any size tiles will work - Some simple shortcuts :) - Fill/Clear a layer and add/delete layers - Trasperancy effects All I have to do is add opening functionality then it's done. I will of coarse fix bugs and add a feature or two once it's finished. I would also release the source code, if my code were at all legible that is :) |
| ||
| Looking good! :) I can't wait to try it! Will it include an example BMX that loads and displays the tilemaps? Good luck! :) |

| Warp: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=61805 I'll make an example as well soon. |
