I have been working on a ASCII editor that allows you to edit ASCII maps. with this, you can easly create single and dubble layered maps usable with your programs.





cedit will edit single layered maps and cedit2 will edit dubble layered maps. getchar allowes you to get a character of your choice and is needed for the map editors.

the controls are easy, when you start one of the editors you will be asked if you want to start a new map or not. entering 0 wil create a new map and anything else will use string1 as map if it is the right size.
you move with the arrows, [2nd] will place the selected character on the map (or select the character in getchar) and [alpha] will open getchar and flip trough the pages of getchar.
[clear] will close getchar without choosing a character or quit the map editor.
in cedit2, [Y=] will flip from layer 1 to layer 2 to both layers and then back to layer 1.

when quiting the map editor, the map will be stored to string1 and ans, and when quiting getchar, the character chosen will be in string2 and ans.

future opdates may include editing both layers at the same time and/or using celtic2/3 to create a file with multiple maps so you don't have to recall the string in you program over and over.

wow, very nice. im going to use this for my next project  Nice work!

true, radical pi managed to draw a knight with sword and shield using dual layer ascii

Looks good; I can't believe I didn't think to do something like that for WoM. Maybe I will now...

One suggestion though, could you include some kind of option for 'favorite character combo'? Scrolling through all the characters every time might get old.
