Xiphirx Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 3007	I was wondering if it was possible to make a map editor (tiling editor like World Artist) in VB. Should I make a map editor in a different language? which? Would you have any examples I can learn off of? Logged

Well you could do that. Or you could just, you know, not disgrace yourself by using VB

. Horrible language.

Anyhow if you want an example, try looking at WA's source? Fusion's source? Mappy's source? Most available map editors are open source

Most available map editors are open source I didn't want to spend tooo much time... but if it is really recommended that I don't use VB, then I would fall back onto Blitzmax, which I know little to none in...

I just know some of this, a bit of that, etc. I chose VB because it is dirt easy. Logged
