The idea/concept I have is from after seeing this:
http://javilop.com/gamedev/c-game-programming-tutorial-non-tile-based-arbitrary-positioned-entity-engine-editor-like-in-braid-or-aquaria-games/

I like the apparent simplicity of the editor, and while I'm not using their source code, the video gives me enough to work from.

I'm still working out the best method for storing the data in which to recreate the map.

Features
- Scroll wheel to flip through images
- Scroll-click to place selected image on screen
- left-click to drag image
- right-click to rotate image
- shift+left click to scale image
- 'B' to toggle OBB

Eventually, you'll be able to change the hue/color of the image and possibly distort the image. Plus, multiple layers and configurable parallax backgrounds.

Could've sworn I answered your question forever ago. Hmm...


No particular GUI system, it's all mine. Drew the menus in photoshop.

Wow! This is what I am looking for!!!

Can't get the link in your first post to work, maybe because im at work and the computers and internet here are not good at all!

Hope you are making progress with this project.

What language you programming it in?

It's DBP. I put the project on hold for a short time while I was working on the Spriter importer.

I'm still debating on how I want to handle the collision system.
