Re: [gtk-list] Re: GDK

[Rob Huffstedtler <rob bagpipe com>]

Harlow's book has some decent examples, but even he skimped on GDK.  You 
can have a look at my RPG map editor at
www.bagpipe.com/comp/rpg/builder.tgz.  Unfortunately, at the moment, I'm 
only using GDK to load my tiles and place them into the drawing area.  I 
have a minimap which is going to do actual drawing, but it isn't
implemented yet (I'm having problems figuring out some of the same things 
that are holding you back). Warning: I'm just learning, too and this is
very pre-alpha code.  I try to keep a somewhat working version on the web
site, but if you find it completely sucky, don't say I didn't warn you
:)
