The objective is to create an easy-to-use game editor for Skuggan's Fighting Game Engine.

After a little persuasion from myself we agreed that data files will be stored in XML format for portability.

The components of the Game Editor include, but not limited to:

Integrated AmigaOS-like GUI - (On-Going)
XML Parse Engine - Open and Save (Complete)
Script/Scene generator with animation format for the BMP format (Complete, final checks)
Script/Scene - Associated Objects (Unstarted)
Object generation and definitions (Complete, final checks)
Frame generation, allow the user to mark out frames from a 'sprite bank' (Complete, final checks)
Movement generation, allow the user to separate frames into movement groups (W.I.P)

In addition to Skuggan's brief when creating a new project:

A directory structure is created for the developer:

  1. Install <appname> (user selects: python (install.py based on Timberwolf) or standard installer)
  2. Install <appname>.info
  3. Installation Guide (template guide file, sysreq, install instr, credits, license)
  4. Instatation Guide.info
  5. <appname>
