Welcome to the forum

Funny you should say that because this month, Richard Rosenthal started a series on this topic in the newsletter. Might want to keep an eye on this; I know I am.

Omnomer, i would start out with getting the views set up, i myself am working on a editor heres some simple code for a 4 camera view, i haven't added the actual correct views yet.




My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.

Thanks for that bit of code but it's kinda over my head. I thought making a level editor would help me learn some more but it seems to be a bit much.

I wouldn't recommend starting learning by making a level editor. If I were in your shoes I would check out Dark Principles on YouTube.

edit:The text adventure won't be posted by then sorry for the wait but my spageity code needs some cleanup and debuging.
