INTRODUCTION
Mapedit is a 2d-map editor that is developed especially for a game
called Peach Gardens. The editor allows you to modify existing maps
and create new maps to be later included in Peach Gardens by the
game developers. Although developed primarily for Peach Gardens,
mapedit may also be usable for developing other games.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Mapedit has been implemented with Tcl/Tk, and it should work on all
environments for which Tcl/Tk has been ported. So far, the editor has
been tested on Tcl/Tk versions 8.0.5 and 8.4.4 on Playstation 2 Linux
Kit and SuSE Linux.
