Today's Goals

So my target for day 4 was to make my maps saving. For a while now I have been able to edit maps, as I said yesterday. But I would have to remake it every time because when you close the game it would be reset.

Today's Work

Now however (assuming the games is closed correctly) the map automatically saves. This will soon be made into a button on the screen somewhere so that I can save whenever I want.

The maps save as a 2 small files right now as well, with a 50x50 tile map being just 2 individual 2.44KB files. I think my main target for now is to make this into a viable editor so that I can make some maps for the final game. This main mean that it ends up not being a tycoon style game and instead finishes its life as a map maker for me.

The game is written with an engine as well so I could easily make another game using the same engine and have it work very well. This could go well, we'll see...

Happy implementing

Matt
