- I have just posted my latest creation to WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU. It is a map
- creator for tile maps in 320*200*256 color mode 13h (VGA non-tweaked). It
- uses 16*16 pixel tiles, up to 200*200 tiles in a map. Each tile may be
- assigned a unique value (0-255) representing various physical attributes
- (solid, transparent, death, etc...). Sprites may be placed over the map, and
- this version supporting up to 500 per map.
-
- This system is designed for the WGT programming toolkit (Turbo C++),
- but anyone who registers will be given information on the file formats so that
- they may be used in any language. The WGT Sprite Creator is used to design all
- bitmaps.
-
- This version of MAP MAKER is a crippleware release (everything except
- the SAVE feature works), but for a registration fee of only $20.00, why not
- register? Please try it out (sample files included) and watch for sample
- programs created with our new release 3.0 toolkit. We have now included full
- FLI playing support (animate sprites over FLI while playing, RESIZE FLI to
- fit within a certain screen area while playing, etc). Routines for scrolling
- maps, and creating powerful games are standard features as well.
-
- Leave me E-mail if you have any questions or comments.
