2d scrolling game editor

[sysex]

just a little something i'm working on.. thought i would post it here for others to have a look at.

features:

- ability to add tiles, and collision polys
- uses Box2d physics
- can save and load maps
- multiple layers

I'm can't do a lot with it at the moment, but that might just be a lack of skill, looking good though, I want GTA!

OKay here you go. A little GTA style demo.

The collision response hasnt been written yet. But everything else is pretty much there, if you can figure it out.

I cleaned up the code a bit, so it should be easier to follow now.

If anyone who is more experienced with the box2d physics stuff, I'd really appreciate some help in getting the collision response working

Doesn't work:

love: box2d/Source/Collision/Shapes/b2Shape.cpp:102: void b2Shape::CreateProxy(b2BroadPhase*, const b2XForm&): Assertion `inRange' failed.

[sysex]

it works for me... perhaps your version of love is different?

hmm i thought i fixed the collision but i didnt...

If you do manage to get it running heres how you control it.

Keys:

b - bounding box draw mode
t - tile draw mode
w, a, s, d to drive car
arrow keys - move map around without driving
-, + keys - scale width
[, ] keys - rotate tile
<, > keys change tile
F2, F3 save, load map (context sensative to what mode you are in)

You can place a bounding box or a Tile by clicking with your mouse.

Ooh, fun. Slippery cars. Feels like they're on ice.

Also, the second thing you uploaded does not work for me, but the first one does.

[bartbes]

The last one still doesn't work, maybe it's because I'm running linux?

[sysex]

It could be because youre running linux.

I'm also using box2d incorrectly, but i think ive figured out whats wrong...

I'll post a new version as soon as i get it written.

[sysex]

Working now.
