00:00This is the map editor for the Fantasy Puzzle game.

00:03The tile field has 10 by 10 tiles in size.

00:07In this game, there is a certain random or fixed minigame associated to each tile.

00:12The tile field has a certain terrain type associated to it depending on our choice.

00:18The tile selector features an animated light effect, which is rather demanding regarding CPU usage.

00:24To allow for a better distribution of elements in the tile field,

00:28and therefore a more beautifully arranged scenery,

00:30each tile can have two entities associated to it,

00:33and each entity can be multiplied in different arrangements.

00:36Of course, the largest part of the possible combinations yield absurd results,

00:40so we have to experiment to find the right ones.

00:58This is the map editor for the Fantasy Puzzle game.

01:01The tile field has 10 by 10 tiles in size.

01:04In this game, there is a certain random or fixed minigame associated to each tile.

01:09The tile selector features an animated light effect, which is rather demanding regarding CPU usage.

01:14The tile selector features an animated light effect, which is rather demanding regarding CPU usage.

01:19The tile selector features an animated light effect, which is rather demanding regarding CPU usage.

01:38In this demonstration, I will be arranging a small cemetery to showcase how this editor works.

01:43Near the end of the video, I will load the full scenery that I ever arranged for the game.

01:47arranged for the game. Since the elements drawn in the field are small, you may have a bad time

01:52in distinguishing them, especially if you are watching this demonstration from a small device.

01:58This is because this software is native of desktop hardware and also of older hardware.

02:17So,

09:48now I will load the full scenery that I ever arranged for the game. In this editor,

09:57only a single file name can be used to store the sceneries, so we must be very careful to

10:02not overwrite a previous work. Unfortunately, in this demonstration, the program is apparently

10:09not loading the corresponding terrain type, as this scenery was originally made with a grass

10:13terrain. This is because there is a bug in the program. After I checked this, I found that I

10:19had forgot to update the corresponding combo box with the value of the variable which stores the

10:24terrain type. This is all for now. Thank you for watching this demonstration.
