An image that show the UI list of the Auto-tiling tileset. On the left we can see "group" and below those group, we can see multiples rules. Those rules decide where a tile should be placed based on condition that the user easily create.

An image that show the Rule Editor, on the top we see all tiles that will be available by this rule, the engine will then select one of them randomly and place it. On the left we can see the group seen on the first image, but only the color, they can be clicked on to select this group. At the center we can see the "condition" maker, where, once a group is selected, we can click on each square (expect the center) to place condition: Empty = Any group is OK, Checked = Only THIS group is OK, Cross = Everything that is NOT this group is OK. At the bottom left we can see 2 checkbox 'flipX' and 'flipY' that allow to flip the rule, AND the tile, so we can create 1 rule for 2 tiles or more (like corner of a stone terrains tiles).

An image that show the utility of the 'Flip X' checkerbox and feature. Here we see a fence, with an left end, and a right end placed like it should. Even if in total it would be needed to create 3 rules (Left end, center, Right end) here we have only 2 rules (Left end BUT can be flipped, center). The engine flip it automatically.

Hi!

So, last time I talked about character animation (a lots) now I will show you the 'new' auto-tiling mechanism and better UI/UX (more in ALT!)

Hey =)

So, I did some more work on the UI/UX for the animation 'editor' inside the character editor of the engine!

There is still some work to do (like bulk import) but it's slowly taking place.

So, quick update, I did the animation system, it's very simple right now, but it's a first 'part' for it to be more 'complex' later on!

Hey!

I worked on the character editor (lots of thing that still need to be worked on) so I could get a controllable 'character'.

It's not AT ALL ready, it's just for fun for now ;)
