(TFT) Mapper/encounter program

["joel sira" <jodasi@hotmail.com>]

hi folks:

I whipped out a piece of paper and tried filling in dungeon squares, but i 
got bored after a while. I decided that I needed to do some programming and 
this fit the bill. Its the beginning of an encounter table/mapping program. 
currently, you can view the map in several different size hexes, and fill in 
hex colors. if you use your imagination a little you can use the black hexes 
to denote dungeon walls, and the non black hexes for country side.  I will 
be putting in the next layer of details, soon, hopefully. That will be 
city/town/ruin markers, and dungeon notations like where traps are and 
numbered encounter notations.


Im going to need some one to come up with some encounter tables for me. 
Dungeon encounters, and out door encounters. Its written in basic.


You can save and restore maps. You can sort of print If you make the window 
active(click on it) then hit print screen, you can import the image to MS 
paint and modify it there. I ran a dungeon with the wifey this weekend. I 
had a hell of a time cutting and pasting and scotch tapping but it was fun 
and it is free.

Anyone here savvy to getting the device context (DC) of a VB 6 program to 
print to a printer using winapi calls?

Currently you can view a file with up to FIVE HUNDRED hexes filled in. I 
will be switching over to another algorithm in the near future that lets you 
map an unlimited number of hexes and hex notations.

I did this in VB and MSV C++. I used winapi calls to do the filled polygons.

Kudos to the freemapper guy. He inspired me :) and more kudos to _nexxus_ 
for helping with the hex radians stuff.


The file is about 1.4 meg. It is here:
