MapMasterDX Info:

MapMasterDX can be used to create a background scene made
up of individual blocks or tiles. This tool is useful for
those interested in creating backgrounds for classic 2D games.
Some example blocks and maps are included as well as a
simple C source code example of how to use the mapfiles.

Note: Flipped blocks are handled by attribute settings now
   the previous method is no longer supported. If you
   already have files created in the old format send
   me an email. Also read the new section on block
   attributes and see "loadatr_funcs.c".
