Description
Version 2.15.00
Build your own 2d Map with this easy Drag & Drop software. Simply select from a wide variety of tiles and objects to be placed and modified on a 7"x 10" canvas. An intuitive graphical interface allows you to start designing Maps in just seconds after reading the Help page. By dragging & dropping each element over the canvas you can then discover the many alternate things that you can do. You will be able to rotate items or change their size. You will find alternate items or random shapes. And with special tiles you will get triangle pieces so you can make hexagonal rooms or oblique corridors. A full light environment will let you finally give more ambiance light to your Map.
This application runs as a standalone (Portable) Exe file (for Win systems) or can be load by every browser with a Flash player installed (Windows, MAC, Linux). On the net you can find standalone SWF players that get rid of a browser (search for Adobe flash player standalone and download the projector file related to your OS).
