Hi, I couldnt resist posting this... Ive been working on it for a couple of days so I just wanted some reactions on it.

Its going to be a 2D Tile based may editor, Using DBP's sprite system. Im hoping I can write the editor in DBP then write importers for popular languages (DBP,BlitzMax,BlitzPlus,Blitz3D,PureBASIC) etc.

What ive got up to now is a basic editor done, with map scrolling, tile placing and changing. What im going to add soon is a proper GUI where you can open tilesets and then select which tile to use on a tileset then start painting with that tile.

Also importers for DBP and BlitzMax are done.

Anyway, Some screenshots!





For some reason this map leaves a tile missing when imported into DBP...

And I dont know whether im allowed to post this, But a shot of the BlitzMax importer.



Also the editor will include functions for scrolling maps and checking tile collision etc.

Anyway, Tell me what you think...

Meh, neat editor.

Hey looks pretty neat. It just so happens I started a similar project yesterday. Depending how the data is written, writting importers for all those languages should be extremely easy. The way mine works at least, is that all the tile data is placed into a .txt file(0s,1s,2s,etc.) and then read.

My editor doesn't scroll yet though.

Well keep up the good work. I'm a sucker for side scroller projects like this anyway.

Cool, Thanks!

Mines more like this > loop next code for x amount of tiles
tilenumber
x
y
tile image

Yeah pretty simple! Getting an importer working for BlitzMax was easy enough anyway.

Okay I was joking, if you mean programming language I say the common ones bedroom programmers use and well um it looks nice, may not ending up using it, but its nice to have a 2D editor with everyone focusing on 3D ones

PlayBasic and IBasic are two other ones that might be good.
