Re: [android-developers] Re: Develop Games

Personally, I had to write my own map editor for my game:

You might not have to though, there are a few map editors out there
you can reuse something like mappy: http://tilemap.co.uk/mappy.php

These editors usually export their maps to some sort of xml definition.
Good luck.
