 This is a template with source code for AmiBlitz 3  
 
 
 Template editor:
 In menu press 9 to enter map editor, only works if you NOT played game
 ESC to leave map editor (not in tile selector) autosaves all, may take a while
 
 Map editor:
 F9 - F10 select map 1 - 16 configured as 4x4
 F1 select layer 1 bottom or layer 2 top
 F3 delete layer 2 (objects)
 F4 delete layer 1 (map)
 F6 copy layer 1
 F7 paste layer 1
 i   switch on/off top 2 rows info
 
 delete key   delete tile, if you are on layer 1 it's set to shape 3
              if on layer 2 it's set to 0 (nothing)

 Tile selector:
 Right mouse button enters/exits tile selector
 Left mouse button select tile
 If you hover over a tile you can give it a
 function number by pressing key 1 - 9, so
 Maybe have in code assigned 1 as blocking object.  
 When hover over a tile red box = assigned  
 To un-assign press 1-9 over red boxed tile so it
 turns to blue


 Game template details:
 A hero and a top down view of a big map in 4x4 config
 It is a very basic template, it uses AGA features for speed, 
 it has a map editor

 Hero can walk, collision detection .. nothing else, very basic 
 template should be easy to follow and add your own ideas, 
 you can even keep the GFX and continue developing on that !
