Anyone know of simple map editing tools?
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Anyone know of simple map editing tools?|

| I'm finding tilestudio to be overy complex and difficult to get working, but I don't want to code a map editor from scratch. Can anyone recommend any *simple* quick to implement map editing tools that work with BlitzMax? I'm talking about something where I include a couple files and call a drawmap function. And something simple enough that I could write a tile collision routine if it doesn't have one. |

| Define simple.. is a single layer simple enough? Problem with these simple-concept map-editors is that there's always something game-dependent which needs to be added.. |

| A single layer is fine in the editor.  I could always just create a few maps and display them as different layers myself. If it's too simple, I can make it more complex to suit my needs. If it's too complex, I can't do anything with it. |

| Try out this one: http://www.mapeditor.de.vu There's a BlitzMax module for it in the mapeditor.de.vu-forums. |

| Or  World Artist . Seems nice and easy to use but I can't find out how to make maps of different sizes. |
