Game Engine: Map Editor

Haven't really done a lot of work on my game engine of late, mostly because I'm a lazy git. Last night I did a little work, not so much on the DirectX side of things, but on the underlying code to handle mapping and resources and stuff like that. For one thing I added a texture cache so that I don't keep loading textures on each render pass, and I fiddled a bit with the way I'm storing game resource files to optimise things a bit. I also stripped out all my light map code, since I won't be going that route anymore. Anyway, below are two screenshots from the very basic map editor I have so far, which uses resource files created with the resource file editor I wrote. Not really much to show yet, but I'm getting there slowly...

When I was kid thats what all the cool games looked like. You didn't need any complicated graphics cards either!

Did you draw the art yourself - its better than most programmer art I've seen.
