Author's Description: A conversion of an Allegro 3/4 tile mapping system for Allegro 5.

Features:
- standard square tilemap
- hex based tiles
- staggered isometric maps
- parallax scrolling
- embedded graphics
- embedded animations
- supports 8, 15,16,24,32 bit map files
- 8 layers, each layer comprising 1 background and 3 foreground tiles for extra layering
- each tile can have many custom variables associated
- extendible through your own data chunks in the file
- simple interface for use
- complete editor for tilemaps with onion skinning, lua support (for scripting such as auto smoothing, GBA support), etc (this is for windows only, but works fine under wine)
- I use the allegro file handlers so should work with physfs
- conversion of pink/black/index 0 to alpha if requiredDemo:
- demo includes a mix of 8 and 32 bit maps in standard, hex and iso format with animated tiles and parallax. Sorry, the scrolling is a bit pants with regard smoothness, that's just my coding :)Instructions:
- readme containing functions
- html documentation describing how mappy works and how to use it plus the file format, etc
