About the lua+xml gui

I like it; how hard is it gonna be?

about my xml stuff

there are now two maps (test_map.xml & working_map.xml) and some helpers to create tilesets (the graphics only); actually the helpers can do more than the demo maps show, a problem of creating more tiles (seamless), writing the appropriate xml (simple; follow the examples and validate with dtd) and mainly doing some math for the tile ids.

Still thinking about howto assign ids in a way that allows an automated way to figure out tile borders for regions in generated noisemaps (like raw_map.bmp); the second column of the tileset is only used in working_map.xml.

Floor+Roof vs. Map with height (2 'height layers' vs. arbitrary height layers)

Being a 'let's have height advocate' I will post my points, i hope I make it clear. I will leave the cons to the exercise of the reader.

• Floors and roofs can be treated the same way by the engine
• It partly simplifies, as it treats these two things in a single way
• In the other hand, map rendering logic will probably get more complex (or be better thought out)
• It will add more flexibility to the engine
