Dungeon Crawler - C++/SDL/C# - Map Editor

My previous post today said, what have I been doing, You could imagine, not a lot of code, I've not been able to think... But today, I've thrown myself into the development again, and set about sorting out a map editor of some use.

I simply have to do something to distract me from my grief.

So, we can select the size of map we're working on, either from the pre-set sizes, or just entering a number:

Then we can select the brush we're using to draw tiles:

Adding Tiles:

We see the mouse over a tile with the orange surround:

Painting the brush is by pressing "1" for the first brush, and I'm going to add 2, 3, 4, etc. so you can have up to 9 brushes selected, basically the numpad will be key, with the floor tile (or even a random set of tiles) being numpad 5, and the 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 and 9 keys being the corners and walls, letting you quickly build a room or space.

You can also clear a tile with Delete...

The development efforts on this may soon be renamed "Spirit of Dude Development"...

Robin Hood in North Carolina

In case you missed things, I'm in Nottingham England, the land of Robin Hood - an international phenomenon ignored in this his fair county...

But Robin Hood is not ignored everywhere...

Like Jacksonville North Carolina... I was happy to be looking for directions, and somehow the system got stuck in the US, and... Well... This is what I saw....

I was impressed, streets with classic names... 

Google Street View Blocks and Blue Systems

With google street view they take to blocking out some signs and numbers, peoples faces and number plates, I get the reasons why.  However, I can't for the life of me figure out why this whole building is blocked out...

Beyond the building being blocked out, if we spin the camera view around and switch to the opposite carriageway on the very same street and then switch the view back we can see the building is a rather nondescript appartment building, with a shop on the ground floor...

More intriguingly for us Linux-philes is that the building to its left is the address on the website for "Blue Systems" the seemingly mysterious supporter of KDE and other KDE based applications for Linux... Huzzah for their support, but who are they?

Their squat grey building says very little, there's no Blue, nor any systems visible...
