After more than a year of work on the game (wow it's been that long), Snelps finally has a level editor for doing the tile layout portion of map editing.

rake edit

will bring up the editor, you will be prompted for a map name to load. You select the tile group and tile they want to "paint" with. Then, you click all over the map to stamp that tile all over.

To select transitional tiles (ie from sand to water), you just click on sand, then shift-click on water. This will bring up the tileset of transitions from sand to water.  To turn on the grid you use the G key and to save you use the S key. Saving isn't quite finished yet, so it will just save to temp.yml in the maps directory.  This editor should really help Snelps graphics designer and map builder, Sirgazil.
