| Well as some know I'm trying to make a map editor for 2D games, and with my lack of experience my ideas are a bit limited, and I need your help to complete this project. So if you have time to spare then help me~ Ok so far I made a rather limited thing but I got no idea how to do the rest, and thats where you come in. (note: Source is at the bottom.) I got a pretty basic menu set up, as you can see at the bottom I used Blitz+ GUI thing. So how would I go if I want that when you click on NEW it would creates a Temp .map file (txt file) and create this: ------------ | | | | | | ------------ First little box would have a Load button to load a Tile file, 32x32 with a gride and the other side would show your map...? You guys following me? It might be alot to ask from you nice peoples but it would help me a great deal to have this program when it finished and it would help me learn alot. 
WinHandle=CreateWindow("Blitz Mapper",0,20,640,480)
menu=WindowMenu(WinHandle)
; MENU
file=CreateMenu("File",0,menu)
CreateMenu "New",1,file
CreateMenu "Load",2,file
CreateMenu "Quit",3,file
layers=CreateMenu("Layers",0,menu)
CreateMenu "Add Layer",4,layers
CreateMenu "",5,layers
CreateMenu "Layer 1",6,layers
DisableMenu layers
UpdateWindowMenu WinHandle
Repeat
	; Wait for an event to occur...
	id=WaitEvent()
	
	; exit on a window close event
	If ID=$803 Then End 
	; handle a menu event
	If ID=$1001 Then
		EID=EventData()
		Select EID
        Case 1
            Notify "You have selected, NEW"
        Case 2
            Notify "You have selected, Load"
        Case 3
            End
        End Select
	End If
Forever
End
