| Hi everyone,
This is the first time I post something on this board, so I hope this is the right place to be 
At the moment (allready a few months and many many hours) I'm programming an editor for the NES game Burai Fighter. I took this game because there aren''t any other editors for this game as far as I know and I have played it for ages when I was young, because the stress and fun. There is another reasen I took this game; I found the password offsets and wanted to write a simpe password editor! At the moment it's much more then only a simple password editor; I wrote a realy stable base and source to use it for (maybe) other editors. I think it's realy important to write an editor which you can control with mouse and/or keyboard. Yes I realy think it's possible to write an editor which you can use with only keypresses (or key combinations) on the keyboard, and yes with using the Windows environment 
Some other points that I find important are the way you use it. Let me explain; I see to many editors around the net that don't have good error handling (or got error handling at all). I hate it when am editor don't fixes the input from the user. An example; then only characters you can use are the letter A to Z, what's the reasen the user can input anu other characters? If you can have only max 9 lives in game X, why can you enter a value like 20? At the moment the GUI and the error handling of the editor is realy good, but there aren't many things you van edit yet. Text and Password works fine, the palette offsets I know, so I need to program it, but that's all. I realy need some help for editing the stages, because I don't have the experience to find out the way it's coded in the ROM. I've added some shots of the editor as attachment, but I want to release it when I think most of the features work correctly. Thanks |

Alright, nice to see someone else who realizes the importance of good error handling. It's quite annoying to make a cool level, then have the editor crash because you clicked Cancel in the Save dialog or moved your mouse too far to the left. 
Interesting idea using the keyboard to navigate an editor, but what's the point?  I guess it could be fun if nothing else. |

| Well yeah, it makes sense with an in-game editor. I can see it being a neat feature for any other editor too, something you might add out of boredom, but unless you don't have a mouse it probably wouldn't be very useful. |
