Well, I’m rounding out the day here.  I’m surprised how well this is coming along for me (I had doubts)!  Here’s what’s going on so far:

So far it’s just a simple tile engine with some map transitions and tile-to-tile movement. I used TileStudio to make the tiles and maps and used the code generator to make (old style) Allegro code. Then I just gutted it for what was important to me (the map tile placement data) and went from there.  At nine hours in, I think I’m doing alright for myself.  Time to go get my six hours and then back to the grind
