What is a mapper? I'd think it is a person who makes maps, or a map editor program (we have a couple of those), but it'd surprise me if you could write either in excel.

thats easy in excel, and luckyly platformindependent.

with mapper i mean a prog that makes it easier to create maps

speaking of programs to make map's a bit easier to make
i made a java applet for finding intersections here http://wiki.crazy-tronners.com/Intersection.html

i think he is talking about programs like that and http://generalconsumption.org/armagetronad/

just programs that make it a bit easier

i'm also going to make one for letters on the map; this will be done at the beginning of next year; i have not started on it yet.

Excel? MS Excel? Platform independend? Don't let Luke hear that.

Anyway, we also have ACME done by Lucifer, and sadly disfunctional armabell also had an editor. Did I forget one?

i can, but you told me that armabell isint really for that

armabell does work but it is just too buggy to use, at least in my opinion. i would much rather code much more acurite maps by hand.

i did not mention this before, but i want to try to make a java Applet with everything in it at some point in time. maybe after i get all my other applets for maps made. then i'll just have toe codes in them to combine to make one complete map making software.

As long as you know it's limitations (and save reguarly), for me, armabell by far the best tool for creating simple 4/8 axes map.
I still use it for most of my maps, I could make them by hand, but they'd take me 5 time as long. Of course, you also need a text editor to tidy up the code afterward.
Unless I want to do something armabell is incapable of doing.

well i use code and armabell
armabell and the map that kye made me is sort of teaching me code

well simple wall only maps can be made jet, i will try now to install start and fortresses.

the codes are real simple, but the disedantage = 40MB file size

I'm working on a fully functional, voice recognition map making program. You tell the computer what you want the map to look like and it makes it

You can still use armabell. At least the map editor works. You need to put some like bash script or something. Ask ed.
