Works without any problems, looks nice.
Can I do something more other than just scroll around?
All the buttons with ??? are fakes, right?
Where have you grabbed the tiles from? Looks like a snes game. (just curious)

Gfx are from SuperHero (unreleased on Amiga)...

AntiA turns off/on smoothing

GameView turns on/off zoomed in display

up/dn/left/right should scroll about

more buttons soon

Pretty cool and damn solid scroll!

Very cool stuff!

I always wondered how to do this with gadgets.
What is is ? An imagegadget and two scroll's or even more imagegadgets in tile-size ?

I am cheating

Its a windowedscreen, with added scroll bars at the bottom and right sides...

The map is drawn to the screen with the map start x,y dependent on the position of the scroll bars.

The zoom mode, the map is drawn to a 256x256 sprite that has a link to a 3d sprite.

The 3d sprite is zoomed to the size of the windowed screen.

AntiA is just smooth zoom on/off

Looks okay though, ehh?

Wow, thanks for this little trip behind the scenes

This makes it much clearer

no problem...

In real games most of what you see is a hack or two..

Very nice work. Thanks for making me feel bad for using Tile Studio instead of writing my own editor :roll:

Had 2 minutes to spare, so did another update to the map editor...

Now you can toggle from block/map mode with space or middle button

You can also grab a series of blocks with right click (from either the map or block screen)

You can paste blocks with the left button.

The grab buffer is the size of the map!

Please report any problems

Using the mouse whell to scroll up/down would be nice

I will try to do that, thanks for the suggestion.
