TileCat Map Editor

[Scipi]

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:

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.

I think that.. why always remake what exists?

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.
