I think i'd better to find some tools which can help me with the map edit ! can somebody tell me some tools ? A tile-map Editor!   ;Quote:Original post by kevinlynxI think i'd better to find some tools which can help me with the map edit!Tile Studio is excellent.Mappy is also very popular (but not as polished).;  I also recommend Tonypa's excellent tutorial on tile based games, here:http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/He uses Flash for language though, but the code is really easy to understand (if you're a novice programmer) and can easily be translated to C/C++ code. It's a very good read for understanding the "mechanics" behind a tile based game.
