Level Editor
|
Hello Everyone! The past few days I spent reading the Tutorials on Iceplug.us for making a 2 platform game. Having completed those tutorials I decided to start to play with the code to learn more about making this type of game and a level editor. I dismantled the code into to different programs one the actual game and the other a level editor. The game code I understand well and have built upon it to make it work even better for my purposes but the level editor is what I am getting stuck on. What I would like to add to it is the ability to have a user selected map width determined by a textbox value and it scrollable controlled with a set of scroll bars. As the program currently sits if you increase the Width of the map the whole form will become longer making it difficult to work with.The other thing I would like to add is the ability to delete objects. For making the map user sizable I added a textbox and a button to the form and used the button to update the MAPWIDTH variable.I also tried doing an update to the timer to see if I could make it check the Textbox.That didn't work so I tried several other ways to update it with no success, I striped out what I tried and have the code back to a working state minus what I would like to add. I Feel lost as I could do this in old VB6 back in the day but seem to be stuck now! Thanks for any assistance!!
Mike
