Mapping School!

I'm making a mapping school for those who want to learn how to map.

My works are here:

Do you want homework?:

News
Lesson 1 is coming out soon! Between Oct. 25-28, 2010!
If you have stencyl, tell me! You can use that to map if you want!
Banner! http://i55.tinypic.com/2lwkpsl.jpg

==========================================================

Your current assignments:
1. Download the file and explore

==========================================================
Don't worry about below if there's only a little bit of the lesson. I'm just "saving".

Mapping School-Lesson 1
Beginning Steps

Part 1-Getting Your Resources
The first thing we need is our resources. Programs, tilesets... So I have made a zip file for you. What it includes:
Tiled (java)
Tiled (windows) (in a folder)
Tiled (mac)
Tilesets of [tsx] files and [png] files (in a folder)

Here is the download link. http://www.mediafire.com/?yf8eujfaov6h1g8

So, first we are going to work with the java version.
Feel free to explore it for a few minutes, and let's get on to it.
So, if you've used any type of paint program before, you should know the basic paint commands.

I would like HW, but not too much, and don't be mad if I get busy and can't do it.

Re: Mapping School!

@mod-you may use stencyl, but i'm too lazy to pick out only the tilesets, so download all of it, and you can delete tiled.

@mooster-that may be harder, because scratch editor doesn't have a grid. you can try though.

Re: Mapping School!

and, @mooster-it might be a little uneven like your previous maps, unless you can do it carefully. you could use a grid?

Re: Mapping School!

You can delete tiled if you want. I will post a tutorial about both. But for now, i'll just answer your question.
so make a new game

should look like this
http://i54.tinypic.com/2metwzk.png

click the tilesets tab on left
http://i51.tinypic.com/34ou3yd.png

and this should pop up
http://i54.tinypic.com/2a8s1vl.png
make any name, i chose example

after, this should pop up
http://i55.tinypic.com/spyq76.png
press [choose image] and then locate the tilesets. choose the first for simplicity

and then this should show
http://i53.tinypic.com/5oegav.png
press [add]

and then this
http://i55.tinypic.com/2vcgy7m.png
and then you can [x] out that tab and go back to game center

under tilesets, here it is:
http://i51.tinypic.com/20ueg4o.png

and when you make a new scene, use this tileset. now you can do it with the rest.
