TileCat Map Editor
« on: November 12, 2011, 12:00:53 am »
Hello.

While developing another project I started this project as a small utility program to make maps for an RPG game. I've since turned it into its own project.

What it is, is a tile map editor with a few rather simple functions.

You can load/Save files

Copy/Paste sections of tiles

Fill a block of tiles

Select two different tiles to "paint"

A full README is included.

Here's a screen shot:



Download here:

So what do you all think?

I want to eventually make it so I can have multiple maps open at once each with their own window. But I've ran into many problems and bugs trying this.

Well, more or less for the experience of coding it. Also I can change it easily to suit my needs.

Also I'd like to expand it and make it unique eventually.

I agree!! I also try to make my own tools when making a game. And I think that each game should have its respective map maker.

For example now I am making my own physics engine, there are free engines such as ODE, Box2D... But it's a really good experience making your own one.

Cheers.

Thanks! Eventually, once I make more progress I'll post a thread about the game I made this for.
