At the very least you should find a workaround. Perhaps still writing code via pencil and paper and having a friend write it and compile it. Or something like that. :S

And btw, we shoudn't speak german in an english forum

That's why we have translators.

I'm not from Germany, but I know about 5-6 people from Germany from Xbox LIVE.

"How big do you want"

How large you want the tile map to be. Two values X then Y.

Is it crashing after you input the values to use? Try loading the map.

Sorry for the double post but I finished a new version of the program.

Changes: You can now have as many images as you want as long as they are stored in the "data/" folder and are numbered png's. ie: "0.png", "1.png", "2.png", etc. Note that they must start from 0 and increment by one.

TileCat is a computer based tile mapper. My inspiration for this project was a utility for Daemons but I've made it its own project.

At the moment I have a usable release which supports creating tilemaps for visual, collision, and transitional data (or whatever you specify for each)

It produces a file with a simple format ([MapWidth],[MapHeight],[data])
(Each tile is a single byte)

Eventually I want it to export the data into an AppVar or a String for use in calculator games. I even want it to send it directly to the calculator from the program.

Here's a screenshot:

Edit: Here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tilecat/

Note the README is pretty bad but I suggest reading it nonetheless.

Future updates:

-Non-Visual modes will have background visual data updated in real time
-Better README
-Ctrl+N will start a new window in Collision or Transitional modes (right now you have to run the program and set it to those modes, in the next release it will start in visual mode by default)

NOTE:
Every Collision and Transitional map MUST have an accompanying  visual map of the same name or the program might crash.

now i have a question for you though homer do you believe there is a difference between a OBE/Astral projection and lucid dreaming or are they one and the same. i've heard many different stories and participated in many arguments over this concept xD

I think there is definitely a difference between LD and AP. LD, I think, is more or less your conscious mind telling your subconscious mind what it wants and your subconscious builds the dream world. In AP I think it deals much closer to the subconscious to the point that part, if not all, of it becomes accessible. Furthermore I believe that during AP you are dealing with higher dimensions. (After all, we all exist on every dimension we are just aware of only the first four due to five and above being tightly curled) I believe that in AP the fifth and perhaps sixth become uncurled for you perception of them. Beyond that I have talked to friends who have gone through AP and in AP, you can cause mental damage if you are not careful ie, depression. LD does not carry that risk in my experience.

I believe that the reason LD is so similar to AP is because, when you dream your mind is close to that state where you can project. In LD, since you can control it without breaking that trance, it becomes easier to make that step up to AP as you are already in that state.

"How good is your dream recall?"

My dream recall is so-so. I an remember some dreams. Those that I don't I usually can remember the overall theme of the dream or at least specific parts.

The only other thing I could think of, is installing Linux on a flash drive (Damn Small Linux or the like could possibly work, definitely Ubuntu) and doing it there. If your school computer doesn't have Boot security then you should be fine.
