Chip's Challenge Creator

[The Architect]

There are still many things to finish, but the enough features are complete that I am ready to start private beta testing for the editor!

The first beta release is scheduled for this Friday (August 18th) around 6 PM (EDT). I will be using a private Skype group to share files and gather feedback. Anyone who is interested in joining, please IM me on Skype for a group invite, preferably before Friday.

Warning: this initial release will be very much unfinished, so don't expect to be able to test every feature immediately.

For those interested, here's a rough list of what's still in the works:

• File formats<ul><li>CC Creator Project format (can save all Chip's Challenge data in one file)
  
• CCX format
  
• C2G format

• Metagraphics (creature order, creature paths, etc.; button links are done)
  
• Game-mode graphics
  

</li>
[*]Map editor tabs
[*]Documentation
