Can some one give me a hand on this one? > Hi, I'm working on a big map editor written with DJGPP/Allegro. You can check out the rather convoluted code at (http://ludus.res.cmu.edu/). Feel free to play around with it, but since it implements lots more than just a map editor (scripting language, windowing library), and does so rather badly, it might be hard to understand. In any case, it should compile out of the box with DJGPP/Allegro (read the COMPILING file), is sparesely documented, and should give you at least a place to start. And if you can understand the whole thing, then you will know how to make a map editor. =) - Tom 7 [ http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom7/ ] [ http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~twm/ ]
