What is the Warscape Editor?

The Warscape Editor is a level editor whose intended use is to make maps for an adventure game. With it, you can make a "map" composed of individual bitmaps, or small squares, which can be repeated at will to create patterns. For example, suppose you want to make a large meadow, with a few trees here and there and a fence around it. You could draw all these things individually, which would probably yield a better looking meadow, but this method is time-consuming and usually requires more memory. With the Warscape Editor, you could draw one image with grass, one with a tree on it, a horizontal fence, a vertical one, and the corners of the fence. Then arrange all these items together in a "warscape" to create your map. Get the idea?

The Warscape Editor is a level editor I wrote during the summer of '95. Initially, the idea was to make a game, but by the time the level editor was usable enough to proceed with the game, the summer was over! :( After that, the whole project just sat in the closet and gathered dust for a couple of years. Literally. So much dust that the floppy containing latest source developed bad sectors. The archived binaries, fortunately, were left undamaged. So an earlier version of source remains, and this is the one I am working with (and releasing). After all, old source is better than no source, but beware that there is a discrepency between the released binary and the source.
