There are a number of tutorials on the web. There are a number of books you can buy (O Reily books are generally considered to be the best, but I've never owned one).
Its not going to be significantly harder to learn than VB, and it isn't as likely to leave you pulling your hair out. Well, as long as you don't do something stupid like trying to program in straight Win32.
Bleh. A pox on Snes9x!

So are we to blindly guess what this program requires?
would you mind releasing a small example VBP?
If you mean Visual Basic (I've not seen it abbreviated as VBP before), my first suggestion is to avoid it like the plague. Its woefully inadequate in all of its various versions. Learn VC++ (MFC) or C# (.NET) instead.
I think it would be great if someone could design a "universal" editor that uses template files to define how a game's level data is stored.
Oye flippin' vay. That would require so much work it'd be ludicrous to even imagine such an editor. It'd basically be 145,649 editors shoved into an itty bitty living space. Bleh. 
We might as well write one editor and modify all of the ROMs so that they conform to its spec. It'd be about the same effect.

Yeah, VBP stands for Visual Basic Project, it's the project file.
I would like to use VC++ but seeing how I know nothing about C/C++ I can't really do anything, I don't even have a clue on how to get started. :O |

I think it would be great if someone could design a "universal" editor that uses template files to define how a game's level data is stored. That would probably take a lot of work, though, considering how vastly different level data formats can be. But even if it was just a simple "shell," it would make designing an editor much easier, since you'd already have the GUI programming out of the way. |

Ah, I see. 
Say, would you mind releasing a small example VBP? Not exactly for this editor maybe, but for some other small game, so people can learn how to make LEVEL editors, because, boy, I can't figure that one out. Or maybe a tutorial? |

Yes I do...I think I forgot to remove it but you can edit an unaccessable room in stage 3 or something...should be the first room...this will be accessable when I do the map editor.
But I did crack the data for another game...so I guess maybe 1-2 weeks there might be another editor LOL! |

It does have a Sprite/Tile editor. I am going to release verry soon ASAP probably in 1 hour a Versaion 0.5.1 which I found a MAJOR bug while editing all the levels...this new version will clear this up. |

From his website:
"In a future version I hope to add an item/enemy editor and also a map editor since I started finding info about it."
I'll take that as a "no." |

Ghosts N' Goblins does NOT need to be harder!
*glares at Orange Pastry*
Great job on your newest editor, and good luck with your future editors (or whatever you decide to make )
