Just hit "Draw" to get the map drawn. File saving and loading are inoperable because the host site doesn't support PHP. Switch to the Map panel to begin editing. Tiles can be registered as pens by typing their filename into the Pen input box and hitting "Register". (URLs are OK) Map properties can be set on the Properties panel. (click "Update" to confirm)

Doesn't work in IE, but works great in Firefox. Probably operates in Safari and Opera as well.

Didn't seem to work under Safari. I hit the "draw" button, and it did draw a map, but assuming it's supposed to look like a checkerboard, it didn't draw it correctly. Looked like a white box with gray grid lines. No black tiles.

There are substantial bugs....

I clicked Draw. Linux, using Firefox 1.0.8. It brought me a grid of broken images. I right clicked and looked at where those images were pointing.

Here's where:

Am I doing something wrong, or does it just need fixing?

::EDIT::

On the upside, the drawing and editing functions seem to be working.

[tcaudilllg]

Try this version.

To answer your question, yes something was probably wrong. The new version fixes everything.

...In Firefox, at least.

Just FYI, drawing the map works under Safari now.

Added some features and fixed an editing bug. No remaining bugs that I can see. (in Firefox... IE is a different story)

I tested the PHP loading and saving functions. They work as expected.

I've been thinking about integrating a scriptable loading system that is capable of handling different formats depending on the script used. Like a plug-in, but without the binary overhead. In particular, I would like to make a JSON formatting script that is compatible with Tiled. That would make SceneLion compatible with Tiled maps. I'm undecided though whether I should just use Javascript's dynamic function source capability, or hold off to integrate Dyne once it's debugged.... In particular, I'm concerned about how suited Javascript, bug-prone as it is, is to the task.
