Tile Map Editor

[Trey]

Matt and Evan probably remember how much fun it was playing with a
home-grown tile map editor; specifically how many features were
missing. Anyway, I found something that we will be able to use
instead:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tiled/index.php?title=Main_Page

The tile map editor here looks pretty complete, and has 2 features
that are especially useful: floodfill and copy/paste of map sections.

I found two articles that describe a complete solution for loading the
tile maps created by this program into XNA:
